Place the cooked potatoes in a bowl and season with salt, then mash until you get a puree, but don't worry if the potato has some slightly large pieces. Once you have the puree, add the cornstarch, egg yolks, breadcrumbs, and a little more salt. Mix with the help of a plastic spatula until you obtain a mixture that is easy to handle.
Take a portion of the mixture and shape it into rectangles about 4 centimeters long with your hands, hollow out with your finger and fill with cheese, close the rectangle and shape the nuggets by pressing a little with your hand. Repeat the process until you finish with the mixture.
Coat the potato nuggets in flour, then cover with the beaten egg and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Fry over medium-low heat for 6 minutes on each side, making sure the oil doesn't get too hot so the nuggets don't brown too much. Once ready, drain on paper towels.
Serve the potato nuggets with cheese on a flat plate and accompany with ketchup and vegetable crudités.
