Description

These potato and zucchini meatballs are a delicious and light alternative to classic meat meatballs. Perfect as a starter or vegetarian main course, they are very easy to prepare and are also very popular with children! I often prepare them in the summer, when zucchini are in season and more flavorful. Baking makes them light and digestible, but if you prefer you can also fry them for an even more delicious result. An extra idea? Serve them with a yogurt and fresh mint sauce for an extra touch of freshness. Ideal for a Sunday brunch or an informal dinner with friends.
