| 1. To make the meatballs: Take one large potato and wash it. | 2. Do not yet peel it. | 3. Put the potato into a saucepan of water, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 20 minutes. | 4. Remove the potato from the hot water and let cool. | 5. In a large mixing bowl put the meat. | 6. Add the onion, salt, garlic, oregano, mint, black pepper and cinnamon. | 7. Next, peel the potato and grate it. | 8. Add the grated potato to the meat and spices and mix everything together. | 9. Chill in the fridge for about one hour until the meat has gotten cold. | 10. Make small meatballs and fry in a nonstick frying pan, on medium heat, in a little olive oil, until well browned. | 11. Cook in batches, remove the meatballs and drain on paper towels. Note: I have also used frozen (and thawed) shredded hash browns in here rather than cooking a whole potato. This will speed up the recipe a little bit. | 12. Greek Yogurt Salad: Mix together the yogurt and water and stir until blended. | 13. If you want the yogurt thick, add less water, if you want it more thin, add more water. I often like to add several Tablespoons of olive oil here, but that is optional. | 14. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. | 15. Chill in the fridge until serving time. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
