Ingredients

Potatoes and Seasoning

  • 1.5 pounds baby gold potatoes (halved or quartered)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Meatballs

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 4 cloves garlic, grated or finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped herbs (parsley, chives, mint, dill)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • Olive oil for coating hands

Yogurt Sauce

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (4-5% fat)
  • 1/2 cup fresh chopped herbs (parsley, chives, mint, dill)
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2-3 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Garnish

  • Fresh chopped herbs
  • Sliced feta cheese
  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for roasting the potatoes and meatballs.
  2. Prep Potatoes: Place the halved or quartered baby gold potatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle with 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage, kosher salt, and fresh cracked black pepper. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well coated in the seasoning and oil.
  3. Roast Potatoes: Place the sheet pan in the oven and roast the potatoes alone for about 10 minutes to give them a head start on cooking.
  4. Make Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine 1 pound ground beef, 1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, 1/3 cup milk, beaten egg, 4 grated garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons fresh chopped herbs, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix ingredients gently with your hands just until combined. Lightly oil your hands with olive oil, then form the mixture into uniform meatballs using a cookie scoop or your hands.
  5. Add Meatballs and Roast Together: Remove the sheet pan from the oven. Nestle the meatballs among the partially roasted potatoes, then return to the oven to roast for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and potatoes are fork-tender. To finish, broil for 1 minute to crisp the meatball crust.
  6. Prepare Yogurt Sauce: While the meatballs and potatoes roast, combine 1 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/2 cup fresh chopped herbs, lemon zest and juice from 1 lemon, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2-3 minced garlic cloves, kosher salt, and black pepper in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and flavorful.
  7. Serve: Plate the roasted meatballs and potatoes. Drizzle generously with the lemon herb yogurt sauce. Garnish with fresh herbs, sliced feta cheese, and an extra drizzle of olive oil. Serve immediately and enjoy the vibrant Greek-inspired flavors.

Notes

  • Use baby gold potatoes for a tender interior and crisp exterior; you can substitute with red potatoes if preferred.
  • Chilling the meatball mixture for 15-30 minutes before forming can help them hold together better during cooking.
  • The lemon herb yogurt sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated to let flavors meld.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially salt and pepper in both the meatballs and sauce.
  • For a lighter option, ground turkey or chicken can replace ground beef.
  • Broiling at the end gives a perfect crispy texture—watch closely to avoid burning.
