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:

  1. Dice the potato into small pieces so it cooks faster.
  2. 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.
  3. Add canned tomatoes, olives, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, black pepper, and a splash of water.
  4. Nestle meatballs into the skillet, cover, and simmer for 8 to 12 minutes until potatoes are tender and meatballs reach 165°F.
  5. 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.
