3/4 cup bread crumbs
2 eggs
½ yellow onion, grated
¼ cup Parmesan, grated
Garlic powder

Potatoes (for *half* meatballs)
5 Russet Potatoes
8-12oz cheese of choice, shredded (I did 6oz Monterey jack and 6oz sharp white cheddar)

Salt & pepper
Tomato Sauce (for all meatballs; I froze half)
½ yellow onion, diced
1 carrot, diced
8 garlic cloves, minced
28 oz can crushed tomatoes + Italian seasoning & 1 jar Rao’s marinara

Steps
1. Cook potatoes: Scrub potatoes and dry. Coat in 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper and cook on a rack at 450F for 60 minutes. Cut immediately in half when out oven. After a few minutes, score the inside of each potato half.
2. Form Meatballs: Mix ingredients (mix everything else before adding meat). Working with ¼s, divide it in ½, then ½, then ½ (8 pieces per ¼ meat) and round into meatballs. Freeze half.
3. Cook meatballs: While potatoes cook, brown meatballs in a stovetop pan or mini muffin tin with olive oil.
4. Cook tomato sauce: Add onion and carrot to pan with 1 tbsp olive oil. 5 minutes later sautée garlic before adding tomato sauce. Cook as desired.
5. Enhance potatoes (optional): Spoon out potato filling and rice. Mix with garlic powder, 2 tbsp oil, s&p, and 1 cup cheese. Put back into potato skins, top with 0.5 cup cheese and broil when ready to eat.
6. Cook veggies: Dice mushrooms, zucchini, and yellow squash. Cook mushrooms for 4-6 minutes in 1 tbsp oil then add squashes for 2-3 minutes.
To serve (or reheat from fridge): Broil potato halves until cheese browns. Cut lengthwise, add sauce and 3 meatballs to ea
