Pass the potatoes through a ricer or mash in a bowl until smooth. Mix in the spiced beef, chives and parsley and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Carefully roll the potato mixture into a sausage shape about the length of your small finger.
Dip each croquette into the flour, dusting off any excess, then dip in the beaten eggs and then the breadcrumbs. Repeat with each croquette until you have used up all of the potato mixture.
Place onto a tray and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up before cooking. These can be prepared in advance and kept in the fridge overnight until required.
Deep-fry each of the croquettes for 2-3 minutes, or until golden-brown and crisp.. Drain on kitchen paper.
For the Celeriac Remoulade:
Peel the celeriac and then coarsely grate in a food processor or shred into matchsticks on a mandolin. Place the sliced celeriac in a pot of salted boiling water and blanch for 2 minutes and refresh under cold water. Allow to cool slightly.
Place in a bowl and add the lemon juice, grated apple and mustard with enough of the mayonnaise or crème fraîche to bind. Season with salt and pepper.
