Layered Potatoes and Meatballs
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. - Make the meatballs:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well, then form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. - Fry the meatballs:
Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 5-6 minutes. They don’t need to be fully cooked as they will finish cooking in the oven. Remove from the skillet and set aside. - Layer the potatoes:
Arrange half of the thinly sliced potatoes in an even layer on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Season with a pinch of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. - Add the meatballs and cheese:
Place the browned meatballs over the layer of potatoes. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese over the meatballs. - Layer more potatoes:
Arrange the remaining potato slices over the meatballs and cheese, creating a second layer. Season again with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. - Make the sauce:
