Part 4/7:

Next up, prepare the potatoes. Peel and chop the Yukon Golds into smaller sizes to ensure quick cooking. Toss them in a portion of the lemon sauce and add the chicken stock and oregano. Spread the potatoes in a single layer in a baking dish to roast at 425°F (218°C) for approximately 25 minutes. This initial roasting will soften them before adding the meatballs.

Crafting the Meatballs

While the potatoes are roasting, it’s time to make the meatballs. For these, start by soaking the stale bread in water or milk to create a breadcrumb-like consistency. Combine the soaked bread with the ground meats, grated onion, herbs, and spices, being careful not to overmix. The goal is to maintain tenderness, while also ensuring the meatballs hold together.
