Ingredients

Potatoes

  • 800g baby potatoes, diced 3cm
  • 1 pack zesty herb dressing

Meatballs

  • 1 pack beef mince
  • 1 pack Mexican spices
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp flour

Salsa

  • 1/2 telegraph cucumber, finely diced
  • 1 capsicum, finely diced
  • 1 avocado, diced

To Serve

  • 100g feta, crumbled
  • 1 pack chipotle sauce
  • 1/2 pack spicy pepitas

Steps

  1. Preheat BBQ hot plate to medium-high (if using). Prep & cook potatoes. Place potatoes in a pot and cover with hot tap water and a pinch of salt. Cook on high heat with the lid on, for about 25 minutes or until tender. Drain and return to pot.
  2. Prep meatballs. In a bowl, combine meatball ingredients with 1 tsp salt. Roll into golf ball sized balls.
  3. Prep salsa. In a bowl, toss salsa ingredients with a drizzle of olive oil and vinegar. Season.
  4. Cook meatballs. Heat a drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook meatballs for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through. Turn often to ensure even cooking. Alternatively, flatten meatballs slightly and cook on BBQ.
  5. To finish. Toss cooked potatoes with zesty herb dressing and season to taste. Prep feta.
  6. Serve potatoes with meatballs, salsa, feta, chipotle sauce and spicy pepitas.
