Jab potatoes with a fork, boil them with their peels, drain and use a potato masher to mash potatoes, while they are still warm.
Cook the string beans, drain and dry them and finally cut them into small pieces with a knife.
In a bowl beat eggs, add mashed potatoes, the chopped string beans, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of breadcrumb.
Knead with your hand until the mixture is homogeneous. Form some balls and roll them into breadcrumb. Heat peanut oil in a small sauce pan (deep with high sides) and when oil is hot cook balls for 5/10 minutes. Remove the balls onto a blotting paper towel, put Pesto di Pra’ in  4 little bowls or in 4 small glasses. Lay down the balls in each glass filled with pesto di Pra’. Put a tooth- stick in the balls and serve as an appetizer.
