    RECIPE:
    ▢1 slice sandwich bread, day-old or toasted (gluten free is okay)
    ▢1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
    ▢1 yellow onion, grated
    ▢2 garlic cloves, minced
    ▢1 large egg
    ▢1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and/or mint, plus more for garnish
    ▢1 teaspoon dried oregano
    ▢1 tablespoon ground coriander
    ▢1 teaspoon ground cumin
    ▢1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    ▢Kosher salt
    ▢Black pepper
    ▢4 Yukon gold potatoes, cut into small chunks or cubes
    ▢1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
    ▢1 batch Ladolemono Sauce

    Ladolemono Sauce:
    ▢¼ cup fresh lemon juice, juice of 2 large lemons
    ▢1 to 2 teaspoons dried oregano
    ▢1 large garlic clove minced
    ▢¾ teaspoon kosher salt
    ▢¾ teaspoon black pepper
    ▢¾ cup extra virgin olive oil

    *Prep the oven:* Place a rack in the center and preheat to 375°F.

    *Soak the bread:* Put the bread in a small bowl and cover with water or milk. Let it soften for a few minutes, then wring out the excess liquid and crumble into a mixing bowl.

    *Make the meatball mixture:* Add the beef, onion, garlic, egg, parsley and/or mint, oregano, coriander, cumin, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Use your hands to mix until well combined.

    *Assemble:* Spread the potatoes and onion in a 9×13 baking dish and season with salt and pepper. Form about 15 small meatballs and nestle them among the potatoes and onions. Pour the ladolemono evenly over everything.

    *Bake:* Cover with foil and bake for 30–40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 10 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and the potatoes are tender and golden.

    *Finish and serve:* Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
