Instructions

1. Wash the celery well, cut it into pieces and cook it for half an hour in water to cover. Drain it (the broth is good for soups or sauces) and chop it very finely.
2. Mix it with the mashed potatoes, salt and pepper, and shape small balls or patties.
3. Set up the breading: mix the flour with water into a thin, pourable batter, and put the breadcrumbs on a plate.
4. Dip them in the flour batter, then in the breadcrumbs, and fry them in very hot oil until golden.
