Ingredients
  

For the Soutzoukakia:

  • 340g ground beef (3/4 lb)
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 medium onion grated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 3 tablespoons parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh mint chopped, (or 1 teaspoon dried mint)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 lemon juiced
  • salt and pepper

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 large potatoes cut into wedges
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 cups tomato sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Drizzle a large baking dish with the olive oil.
  • Place the potatoes in the baking dish and season them with the oregano, salt and pepper. Toss them to ensure they are well coated.
  • Pour the tomato sauce and water over the potatoes and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, form the soutzoukakia, by placing all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and mixing until combined. Scoop out a portion of the mixture into your hands and form it into an oval shape. Repeat with the remaining mixture and set them aside.
  • Place the soutzoukakia on top of the par-cooked potatoes. Continue baking for 50-60 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender and the soutzoukakia are cooked through. Gently flip the potatoes and soutzoukakia halfway through cooking to coat them in tomato sauce.*

Notes

*Note: If your potatoes are not tender yet, continue baking, adding hot water if more liquid is needed.
