Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Ground beef or pork
- 60 g Breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 50 g Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Smoked paprika
- 700 g Potatoes
- 4 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Dried rosemary
- 1 tsp Dried thyme
- 2 tbsp Chopped parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef or pork, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix well until fully combined.
Using your hands, shape the meat mixture into small balls, about 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and set aside.
Wash the potatoes well and cut them into bite-sized chunks, leaving the skin on for extra crispiness.
Place the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and toss them with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, dried rosemary, dried thyme, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the seasoned potatoes out on a second parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer.
Place both trays (meatballs and potatoes) into the preheated oven. Bake the meatballs for 20-25 minutes until browned and cooked through, and bake the potatoes for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy, flipping them halfway through.
Remove the trays from the oven. Let the meatballs rest for 5 minutes.
Transfer the Pokey Balls and potatoes to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your flavorful Pokey Balls and crispy potatoes.
