Ingredients

  • For the meatballs:
  • 1 pound ground beef or ground lamb
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the potatoes:
  • 1 1/2 pounds baby potatoes, halved
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional for serving:
  • Crumbled feta cheese
  • Fresh parsley
  • Tzatziki sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, garlic, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
  3. Form mixture into evenly sized meatballs.
  4. In another bowl, toss potatoes with olive oil, garlic, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until coated.
  5. Spread potatoes evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Arrange meatballs among the potatoes, leaving space between each.
  7. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until potatoes are golden and tender and meatballs reach 165°F (74°C).
  8. Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for extra browning if desired.
  9. Garnish with feta and fresh parsley if using, and serve warm with tzatziki sauce.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure proper roasting and browning.
  • Yukon Gold or baby potatoes work best for crispy edges.
  • Substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze cooled portions for up to 2 months.
