Homemade Meatballs

I am glad to share with you the recipe for the most delectable and succulent homemade meatballs, prepared with a delightful blend of ground beef, pork, and a surprising twist – grated potato. These mouthwatering meatballs offer a unique combination of flavors and textures that will leave you craving for more.

Each meatball is rolled to perfection, ensuring a tasty and even cook. I love adding grated potato to my homemade meatballs’ recipe, as it adds a special touch, making the meatballs incredibly soft and flavorful. Not only does the grated potato act as a natural binder, holding the ingredients together, but it also imparts a subtle sweetness and a hint of earthiness that complements the savory meat blend harmoniously.

These meatballs are a hit at any gathering or as a comforting family meal. You can enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauces or with spaghetti and marinara sauce or savor them as a delightful snack or alongside your favorite side dishes.

How to make homemade meatballs. 

Start by preheating the oven to 400ºF (200C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, place the ground meat and add all the remaining ingredients: onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, grated potato, fresh parsley, salt, and pepper. Combine the ingredients thoroughly, being careful not to overwork the mixture.
