  1. 1In a big bowl, mix all your souzoukakia ingredients: beef mince, chopped parsley, finely diced onion, bread soaked in wine, egg, garlic, tomato paste, cumin, oregano, and salt and pepper.
  2. 2Shape the mixture into small oval meatballs and set aside.
  3. 3For the potatoes, quarter them and put them into a baking dish.
  4. 4Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the potatoes, sprinkle salt and pepper, and add chicken broth.
