Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 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 oiling hands and drizzling

Greek 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 finely minced garlic
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Fresh cracked black pepper, to taste

Garnishes

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for roasting the potatoes and meatballs.
  2. Prep Potatoes: Place halved or quartered baby gold potatoes on a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with dried oregano, garlic powder, rubbed sage, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper. Toss well to coat all the potatoes evenly in the seasoning and oil.
  3. Roast Potatoes: Place the sheet pan with the potatoes in the preheated oven and roast for about 10 minutes. This gives the potatoes a head start on becoming tender and crispy.
  4. Prepare Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, crumbled feta, milk, beaten egg, grated garlic, fresh chopped herbs, dried oregano, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix gently using your hands until just combined, careful not to overwork the mixture.
  5. Form Meatballs: Using a cookie scoop, portion out the meat mixture and roll each into uniform balls. To avoid sticking, oil your hands lightly with olive oil before shaping the meatballs.
  6. Add Meatballs to Potatoes: Remove the sheet pan from the oven after the initial roasting. Arrange the meatballs evenly on the pan among the potatoes.
  7. Roast Meatballs and Potatoes: Return the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Broil for Crispiness: For a crispy crust on the meatballs and potatoes, broil on high for 1 minute. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  9. Make the Yogurt Sauce: While roasting, mix together Greek yogurt, fresh chopped herbs, lemon zest and juice, olive oil, minced garlic, kosher salt, and freshly cracked black pepper in a small bowl. Stir until well combined.
  10. Serve: Plate the roasted meatballs and potatoes. Drizzle generously with the creamy yogurt sauce, garnish with fresh chopped herbs, sliced feta cheese, and an additional drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy immediately!

Notes

  • You can substitute ground lamb for beef to enhance the traditional Greek flavor.
  • To make ahead, prepare meatballs and potatoes up to the roasting step, then refrigerate and roast when ready to serve.
  • Adjust garlic and herbs in the yogurt sauce to your taste for varying intensity.
  • If preferred, use regular breadcrumbs instead of Italian seasoned breadcrumbs and add additional Italian seasoning to the meatball mix.
  • Use a convection oven setting if available to get even crispier potatoes and meatballs.
