Notes
- I always make sure my meatballs and potato slices are the same size. This way, everything cooks evenly.
- It's best to layer everything tightly in the baking dish. This way, the dish holds its shape, and the flavors blend beautifully.
- Serve this dish with Turkish rice pilaf or couscous as well as shepherd's salad.
