One teaspoon of potato flour isn't going to do anything to a cookie recipe that provides this quantity of dough.

I have a different guess. My hunch is that when the author set up the ingredients, she mistakenly added a duplicate line:

3 Tbs potato flour
1 tsp -- (this is the erroneous extra line)
1 tsp xanthan gum

and put the potato flour on the wrong line.

It is likely that the recipe author will not reply here. She has abandoned her website and the recipe hyperlinks are all broken. Worse, web.archive.org does not pull up any of the archived pages so the recipes are likely lost to Internet denizens.

Anyhow best of luck.

(Disclaimer: I haven't made this recipe either.)

Haven't made this recipe but here are two educated guesses.
Error in writing - 3 tsp equals 1 tbsp, so maybe recipe author accidentally transposed the two spoon measurements. So maybe it's 1 tbsp needed.
Not sure, so use the lower amount...add 1 tsp potato flour to recipe until author responds.
