These Savory Meat and Veggie Balls are a hearty, nourishing dish packed with tender potatoes, minced meat, earthy mushrooms, and aromatic herbs. The ingredients are finely grated, mixed into a smooth, starchy mixture, then shaped into balls and pan-fried until golden. Finished with a delicate mushroom cream sauce, these comforting bites are perfect for dinner or a cozy lunch.
They’re soft on the inside, crispy on the outside, and made without breadcrumbs—perfect for those avoiding gluten or looking for a more vegetable-forward twist. Great on their own or served with rice, salad, or even inside a pita wrap!
