Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • to taste Salt and pepper

For the Binders & Coating

  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs

For the Roasted Potatoes

  • 4 medium potatoes, cubed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • to taste Salt and pepper

For the Greek Salad & Toppings

  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 medium cucumber, diced
  • 1/4 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • Olive oil, for drizzling
  • Lemon juice, to taste

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment.
  • In a bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until combined but not overworked. Form into meatballs and place on one baking sheet.
  • In a separate bowl, toss cubed potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper; spread on the second baking sheet.

Cooking

  • Bake meatballs and potatoes together for about 20–25 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through and potatoes are golden and tender.

Assembly

  • While they roast, combine cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and feta in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice, then toss gently.
  • To serve, layer roasted potatoes, meatballs, and Greek salad in bowls; finish with an extra drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.

Notes

Don’t overmix the meat to keep meatballs tender and juicy. Roast potatoes in a single layer for crispiness. Store leftovers separately for up to 4 days.
