Method

Boil the potatoes in water until they are soft.
Drain them and, while still hot, mash them into a puree.
Add the raw eggs, butter, baking powder, salt and cornstarch to the puree.
Mix everything very well until you achieve a homogeneous dough.
Heat plenty of oil over high heat and fry the mixture in batches until the fritters are golden.
