Start by preparing the meatballs in tomato sauce. Place the ground beef in a bowl, add the egg,
add a mashed boiled potato and mix it into the meat.
Add a pinch of salt
and pepper,
chopped parsley
and the breadcrumbs, mix everything well first with a fork
and then with your hands to get a homogeneous mixture.
Take part of the mixture and then form the meatballs about the size of an apricot,
then roll them in flour.
