To make starch at home, start by washing and peeling your chosen source of starch, such as potatoes or corn. Then, cut them into small pieces and blend them with water in a food processor until they form a thick paste. Strain out any large pieces and then let the mixture settle for several hours so that the starch can sink to the bottom. Pour off the liquid on top, then scoop up the starch and spread it out on a plate to dry. Once it is completely dry, you can break it into small pieces and store it for later use.
