2. Boil the potatoes until they are lightly softened (you should be able to cut them into slices without breaking them). Next, let them cool then place them sliced on the bottom and sides of a baking dish.
3. Shape meatballs to the size you prefer. However, for optimal cooking, the advice is not to make them too big or too small.
4. Place the remaining potato slices between the meatballs to separate them.
5. Pour the bechamel sauce on the meatballs and potatoes until they are almost completely covered. Finish with a layer of grated mozzarella and cook at 428°F (220°C) for about 45 minutes.
Voilà! The most delicious dinner, you could prepare with what you already have in your house, is served!
