Everyone loves meatballs, whether they are Italian/American, Middle Eastern, Spanish, German, Swedish, meatballs in sauces, baked, fried are just delicious to eat. Greek meatballs aka Keftedes/Keftedaki is on the top of the Greek appetizer list, and it is certainly one of the best comfort food dishes.

I have lost count on how many different versions exist for this Greek recipe of Keftedes, I don’t think and I certainly don’t remember if I have ever eaten the same Keftedaki recipe twice, well except at home when my mom used to make them. One day coming back from school many many moons ago, I remembered that I could smell my mom’s cooking half way up the block. I always had a habit of never walking in through the main door of the house, but always from the backyard door, onto the porch and straight into the kitchen. Ohhhh!!! that smell of mom’s cooking was just so yummy. 🙂

I prefer baking vs frying because it is healthier, but this time around I thought why not fry and enjoy Keftedakia the traditional Greek way..:)
