I like cook food like this at Saturday and create meatballs for 2 days , so we can eat them both Saturday and Sunday and don’t need to care about Sunday’s meal. You can create as spicy meatballs you like and cut the potatoes in any size you prefer , I like to add extra spicy mustard when I serve this . Let’s take a look at this easy akis petretzikis recipe
