Meatball, Potato & Tomato Skillet
Uses: meatballs, red bliss potatoes, canned tomatoes, olives, romaine
Ingredients:
- 4 to 5 meatballs
- 1 medium red bliss potato, diced small
- 1/2 cup canned tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon sliced olives
- 1 teaspoon oil or margarine, if available
- 1 cup romaine for serving
Instructions:
- Dice the potato into small pieces so it cooks faster.
- Warm oil or margarine in a skillet. Add potatoes and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until they begin to soften. Season with little salt and pepper.
- Add canned tomatoes, olives, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, black pepper, and a splash of water.
- Nestle meatballs into the skillet, cover, and simmer for 8 to 12 minutes until potatoes are tender and meatballs reach 165°F.
- Serve over chopped romaine or with romaine on the side for crunch.
Why it works: It feels like a rustic Mediterranean skillet with potatoes, tomato, olives, and hearty meatballs.
Optional: Top with feta or serve with toasted whole wheat bread.
