Gradually add 1/3 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. In a small bowl, beat the yolks until thick and lemon-colored. Gradually add 1/3 cup sugar, beating constantly. Stir in lemon juice and grated peel. Gently fold yolk mixture into the whites. Sift together the potato starch, matzah cake meal and salt. Gently fold, half at a tim, into the egg mixture until just blended. Spread batter evenly in the pan and bake 15 minutes or until the cake tests done. A wooden toothpick inserted in the center of the cake will come out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes in the pan.
