  2. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and arrange on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Bake the meatballs for 30 to 40 minutes until golden brown and reaching an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
  4. Wash and cut the potatoes into wedges. Toss with olive oil, cumin, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Spread on another baking sheet and roast for 40 to 60 minutes until crispy.
  5. For the tzatziki, combine Greek yogurt, grated cucumber, minced garlic, lemon juice, and dill or mint. Mix well and season with salt. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
