Prep the Potatoes
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (no need to peel). 
  • Pop the potatoes onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer (leaving room for the meatballs).
Make Your Meatballs
2
  • In a large bowl, mix together the beef mince, breadcrumbs, mustard, Worcester sauce, salt, and pepper.
  • Use your hands to form 10 meatballs (double for 4p). IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat.
Ready to Roast

  • When the oven is hot, roast the potatoes and beef meatballs in the oven for 15 mins.

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

Mix in the Meatballs

  • When they've been cooking for 15 mins, remove the meatballs from the oven (leaving the potatoes to cook).
  • Add the meatballs to an oven dish.
  • Stir in the spinach, chopped tomatoes, salt and pepper
  • Roughly tear the mozzarella and spread it on top.
Melt the Mozzarella
5
  • Place the oven dish in the oven below the potatoes.
