Notes

Store leftover potatoes and meatballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Store salad separately in an airtight container; it should stay fresh for about 2 to 3 days. Use for quick meals in the next couple of days—having these ready to go is a lifesaver!

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Peel potatoes and cut into wedges.

3. Transfer potato wedges to a baking dish. Add chicken broth, lemon juice, oil, finely grated garlic, and oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated, then spread them out in a single layer. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes.

4. Prepare the meatballs. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, chicken broth, baking soda, grated onion, finely grated garlic, parsley, mint, oregano, cumin, crushed red pepper flakes, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
