You are amazing everything I’ve tried and it comes out. Perfect there’s nobody who could speak food better than you.

Made this recipe last night....and OMG!!! it was so so delicious...had people over for dinner....seemed like everyone just inhaled it....thank you so much for the recipe. I always watch your recipes but now I will start making them as well. 😋😋😋😋😋

It's so nice to hear the "Beeftekia me patates sto fourno" from you!!!!! It's a classic family dish!!!!!

This looks delicious. Yes please do a lemon version! I love lemon everything☺

My mother in-law use to use grated potato when she made hers and they were very tasty. Love you channel Dimitra

Yes please, I'd love to see you do the lemon version. Thank you!

I like your recipes because the ingredients are always on hand.

Who knew such a simple dish could be so good - I made this and it's restaurant quality good.

It’s very similar to the Lebanese fish, Kafta with potato’s although we add rings of onion, sliced tomatoes and rings of potato. We use lamb with grated onion and parsley mixed together and made into balls. Sauce is the same. Made yours and was yummy, thx again for a great dish. 🌞🌞

That looks AMAZING!!!! Can’t wait to try this 💜

😍 Love your baking pan. It's beautiful. Also it looks so yummy! Thank you for your Greek recipes.

TY for this mpifteki recipe Dimitroula mou! That's how I ate it back in Greece My thia Chryssoula made that. Do a lemony version if you can

Looks delicious! I'd love the recipe with the lemon as well!

No need for so many condiments and spices. Here in Greece we use a few basic ones which work well.

Grated potato is how we make keftedes in Cyprus. Some people use that instead of breadcrumbs. I use both. And I always use gluten free breadcrumbs. I’m the Uk we can get Mrs Crimbles gluten free bread crumbs. Which are really good.

I use a dried slice of gluten free bread, and place it in the food processor to make bread crumbs.

Yes please to the lemon ones

I add both breadcrumbs and grated potatoes (how my mother used yo make them). It helps bulk out the mixture especially if you feeding a lot of people. To 500g of minced beef, I would add say, 3 medium size potatoes.

This looks delicious and in the meantime you can put my name down for the lemony version as well! (Whenever you have time of course...….)

When I aaked my friend who is Lebonese and Greek..😉 she was very surprised that I noticed it. She told me her Lebonese mother always but lemon and one to two cinnamon sticks in the water of her chicken soup. It was not bad at all, but I was the only one out of her 8 guest that detected the hint of the cinnamon flavor. Is an Arabic thing 😁

I was raised in an Italian household.....if you don’t have homemade breadcrumbs, 3/4 cup steamed rice is a good substitute !

Yes plz, lemon version

My child hood memories

Hi, Dimitra! Yes, could you show us the lemon version of this? Thanks in advance!

Made it and it was a massive hit, added to the favorites list. By the way I'm sure aluminum foil is totally safe. If you were told it causes Alzheimer's that's a myth.

Would you please explain how to make greek lemonade roasted potatoes?

Many grocery stores now sell gluten free bread crumbs

hi guys, I have made this a few times, and even cheat versions when stuck for time or lazy and here is what I have learned: -passata or any tinned tomatoes will work, but will be less saucy if whole tomatoes are not blended. -1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder/dried garlic will work in place of 1 fresh clove. - you can make a quicker, cheat sauce by adding everything to large microwave boil and microwave for 10 minutes. I leave out the olive oil as not frying and calorie conscious. -you can cheat and use ready made meatballs or even burgers, but burgers and unseasoned meatballs won't be as tasty. -you can cheat and use ready made sauce- most tomato sauces will work, something like an arrabiata or marinara- but add more water, about 1-2 times the volume of the sauce and more flavour with oregano, dried garlic, dried onion, salt, pepper.

Lemon recipe meatballs recipe please

Lemon! 😊

Can you start saying the meat in Grams cause I used 1 pound like you said and I didn’t have that many meatballs like you did

Panko bread crumbs come also gluten free.

Can I use turkey instead?

Paprika also in it.

Over boiled rice is what we use in Italy

You can add mashed potatoes. That would be a good substitute and I've also heard that flax seeds are a great substitute for eggs.
