  almonds and saute over medium heat until browned. Cool. Melt the
  remaining butter in a small saucepan. Cool. Mix the ground almonds
  and sugar in a bowl and add the eggs one by one, beating after each
  addition until the mixture is light and thick. Sift the potato or
  corn starch with the baking powder and salt and fold into the almond
  mixture. Fold in the melted butter. Do not overmix. Pour the mixture
  into the tart shell and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the batter
  begins to set. Quickly scatter the chopped almonds over the top in
  one even layer. Return the tart to the oven and continue baking for
  17-to-20 minutes or until the pastry is brown and the filling is firm.
