"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Personal Notes:
This is Grandma Reisetter's recipe. I used to make these as a treat for my family although it is labor intensive. The amount of each ingredient is only approximate depending upon the consistency of the potatoes and other variables. Everyone in the family tried to see that there were leftover mashed potatoes so that they could have potato cakes the following day.
