To prepare the meatballs and potatoes, start with the latter. Begin with those that will go into the mixture. Immerse the indicated amount in a pot with water and salt, bring to a boil, and count about 40 minutes: check the cooking by pricking with a fork; if the fork goes in easily, they are ready 1. Now move on to the potatoes for the side dish. After washing and peeling them 2cut them into quarters 3.
In a pot with boiling and salted water with a tablespoon of coarse salt 4add the potato wedges and let them cook for 5 minutes: this way, the meat and potatoes will have the same cooking times in the oven. Drain the potatoes 5 and place them in a bowl. Season with olive oil 6,
salt and pepper, add the sage leaves and rosemary needles 7. Mix everything and let it marinate 8. At this point, the potatoes in the boiling water should be cooked; drain them and peel them while still very hot 9.
Crush them 10 and add them to a bowl with the ground meat 11. Add the egg, salt, and a sprinkle of pepper 12
the breadcrumbs, Grana Padano cheese 13and finely chopped parsley 14. Mix well to combine everything 15.
Now take small portions of the mixture, about 1 oz each, and form small meatballs 16 to place conveniently on a sheet of baking paper. You should get about 25 pieces 17. Lightly oil a baking dish and roll the meatballs inside 18.
Add the potatoes with the seasoning 19 and distribute well. Bake in a preheated static oven at 350°F for about 45 minutes, taking care to turn the meatballs halfway through cooking until they are golden brown on the surface 20. For the last 5 minutes, turn on the grill (or increase the oven temperature) to form a delicious crust on both the meat and potato meatballs 21.
