Wash the potatoes in cold water and cook them with the skin until soft. Meanwhile, cut the roll into pieces and soak in milk. Put the meat through a mincer or chop it up very finely. Wash parsley, dab dry and then chop finely. Peel the garlic and crush it carefully.

Use a toothpick to check if the potatoes are cooked. Drain the soft potatoes, peel them and mash them up with a potato masher. In a bowl, thoroughly mix together the mashed potatoes with the meat, garlic, parsley, Parmesan and the grated lemon peel. Season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the roll to remove excess liquid and add to the potato mixture. Whisk the eggs in a bowl and fold them in as well.

Mix flour and breadcrumbs on a plate. Now roll the potato dough into small balls. Make sure they are covered completely with the flour crumbs and fry them in plenty of olive oil until crispy. Drain on kitchen roll and serve hot. And don't forget to tell the story of Mr. Pelliccia during the meal!
