Preparation:

Meatballs:

  1. Put the minced meat in a deep bowl, then add the chopped vegetables already prepared according to the description above.

  2. Then add the crumbs, one egg and season to taste (salt, black pepper, red ground pepper, red-hot crushed pepper, oregano.)

  3. At the end, add cooking wine or chardonnay, if you have it at home.

  4. I put that for hot pepper, but you don't have to put it in, especially if you have small children.

  5. Knead the mixture so that it is completely compact and combines with the other spices, cover with transparent foil and put in the refrigerator to rest for at least half an hour.

  6. While the meat is resting, you can slowly prepare the young potatoes for those meatballs, and you will do it in the following way.

Potatoes:

  1. Clean the potatoes from excess skins, bring the water to a boil, when it boils, add the potatoes and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, then strain.

  2. If young potatoes are a little bigger, then cut them into four parts.

  3. You can leave these smaller potatoes whole or cut them in half as you wish.

Processing:

  1. Take a refractory dish 25×25 cm and oil it well with oil.

  2. Take the meat mixture out of the fridge, oil your hands a little then make balls, that is, meatballs in relation to your dish.

  3. Make meatballs about the size of a golf ball. If your baking dish is a little bigger than mine, make little bigger meatballs.

  4. Arrange the prepared meatballs in a circle next to each other, then the second row should be young potatoes, then this meatball goes again and inside that go young potatoes.

  5. Put the prepared meatballs in an oven at 200 °C to bake for about 30-35 minutes, during which time makes the topping.

Topping:

  1. Put the sour cream in a small bowl, add the cooking cream, a little water, tomato purée, mix it all well, then add the spices to taste, salt, pepper, and red ground paprika. If you want, you can add oregano and hot pepper to those spices, if not, then the mixture is ready!

Processing:

  1. After baking the meatballs in the oven for 20 minutes, take them out, cover them with this topping, then put them back until the end to bake for 15 minutes.

  2. Serve warm in shallow plates, with the sauce poured over the meatballs.


Buon appetito!
