CHICKEN AND PARSLEY MEATBALLS WITH ZUCCHINI AND POTATO RÖSTI
The heat is on here and I am not prepared at all, I had completely forgotten what it feels like to sweat all over the body. But I like it so far, there is a certain feeling of carelessness to it and a promise of relax so let’s hope it is a true feeling. Yesterday I made a gigantic effort and managed to stay on a sun chaise for five hours with a book, it was almost scary how easy it was after a while and I definitely could get used to it , hmm I think I will make that my major aim of this summer. OK, yes, I will, I will so I have to go now, the sun chaise and book is calling me, so sorry but when duty calls….
CHICKEN AND PARSLEY MEATBALLS WITH ZUCCHINI AND POTATO RÖSTI
4 servings
chicken meatballs:
500 g/ 1,1 lb chicken breast, minced
1 egg
4 tblsp parmesan, freshly grated
1-2 tblsp parsley, finely chopped
1-2 tblsp breadcrumbs, if needed
salt
pepper
zucchini and potato rösti:
4 medium potatoes
4 medium zucchini
salt
extra-virgin olive oil
- Mix the minced chicken with egg, parsley, parmesan, a good pinch of salt and if needed the breadcrumbs, mix well and roll the balls.
- Fry the meatballs in olive oil until golden.
- Grate the potatoes and the zucchini on a metal grater or in a food processor, I prefer when they are not grated too finely (help! what is the right expression for this??) because the rösti seem to keep together better like that. Add salt and mix the vegetables
- Heat up olive oil in a non-stick pan and put 1/4 of the grated vegetables in it, flatten it out and fry on fairly high temperature on both sides until you have a golden zucchini and potato pancake. Do the same with the other 3 parts of the vegetable mix.
- Serve the chicken meat balls on the rösti with salad on the side.

I believe you are looking for the expression “coarsely grated,” as opposed to finely grated! Do you ever have problems getting the potatoes cooked through or does the high heat just take care of it?
After what seems an age I am back in the fold.

I am so glad you used chicken in the meatballs Ilva. I was hoping you had. Love the way you made them, and served them too. A complete meal IMHO! NICE!!
{PS was trying to leave a comment on Guilia’s prop post but couldn’t see the comment box. Maybe it’s back now. I loved her post, and am pretty prop crazy myself. }
The zucchini & potato rösti sounds really really nice. Reading a book on a sun chaise is really hard labor so please be careful not to overwork yourself and get sunstroke!
Looking at your delicious plate……..I felt right at home, because I do these little chicken “Koedel” as well………but, I have never done zucchini and potato Roesti before……..I have made just potato Roesti…….of course. I am looking forward to trying this combination very soon……. Thank you for this new idea!!!!!!!
I love the way you use your words in your writing………I so understand, because I too speak several languages and read often books in German, ny most fluent language, and when I do that my English language drops in vocabulary. When that happens, my friends love it……… they tell me that it is “charming.” And, that is why I love to read your posts……they are all charming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been on a meatball fiesta myself lately, usually with ground turkey, but maybe where you live it’s not as common as it is here. My last batch I baked in the oven instead of frying (but I used my small, toaster type oven, as the heat here is getting unbearable to think about turning the oven on)
Beautiful photos!
Hope you are having a great time with your books and the sun…
Love the pics and the meatballs look delish. It has inspired me to make some of my own with a side of truffled polenta.
My boyfriend and I made this dish last night and it turned out great! We cooked the meatballs a little bit too long so they were on the dry side and we added garlic to both of the dishes, I think onion would have been too, next time we will try that!
Thank you for sharing this reicpe!!
