Drain, cool, and grate potatoes

Drain the potatoes very well and let them cool until they are easy to handle. Grate them using the large holes of a box grater.

Mix all ingredients

Add the grated potatoes, cornstarch, cheese, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Gently mix until everything is evenly combined.
