In a pot of boiling water, add the potatoes, salt, and cook for 25 minutes until soft. Remove from the pot, peel and mash with the help of a ladle; it’s easier if you do it while they are hot. In a bowl, mix the potatoes, egg, breadcrumbs, cornstarch, and season with salt. Shape the pancakes with your hand and create a hollow, add the Chihuahua cheese and wrap it with the pancake. Heat enough oil in a pot over medium heat to fry the pancakes, the oil should cover the pancakes at least ¾ of the thickness; cook each pancake for approximately 8 minutes. Drain excess oil, serve, and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
