Corn starch in a corn society, potato starch in a potato society. When I was young, the corn starch was the new thing. Everyone was using potato starch before that. (North Sweden)
Also, there are very different types of potatoes. Some contain much more starch that others. My favourite is Mandelpotatis [1], has much more flavour and a bit more starch than the rest sold on the swedish market.

- MisterBastahrd 4y agoI guess my point is that potato starch used to be the standard of sorts because potatoes can be grown anywhere and stored in cold cellars to last a year. Even my great grandfather in Southeastern Louisiana where the summertime temperatures can reach 38c stored root vegetables in a dark shed covered with earth and sacks for use year-around.
