1 Prepare the Potatoes
Prick potatoes all over with a fork.
Place potatoes and 1 Tbsp. water in a microwave-safe bowl. Cover with a damp paper towel.Microwave covered until slightly tender, 5-7 minutes.If you receive potatoes larger than 2”, they may need an extra 1-2 minutes in the microwave to soften. Carefully remove from microwave and transfer to a clean, flat work surface. Using the flat side of an object, press down gently to smash each potato until 1/2" thick. Potatoes will be hot! Use caution. Wipe bowl clean and reserve.Place smashed potatoes, 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 the onion salt (reserve remaining for meatballs and corn), and a pinch of pepper in one provided tray. Stir to combine and spread into an even layer. -
2 Form the Meatballs
In a mixing bowl, combine panko and half the dressing (reserve remaining for garnish). Let sit, 1 minute.
After 1 minute, stir in ground beef, half the remaining onion salt (reserve remaining for corn), and a pinch of pepper until completely combined. Form mixture into 16 equally-sized meatballs and place in second provided tray. -
