Nutritional values

With broth instead of oil or mayonnaise, this potato salad is twice as light: easy to prepare and pleasantly low-fat. But that's not all - thanks to the fresh ingredients, it also contains considerable amounts of vitamin C, B vitamins, iron and zinc.

Are you a garlic fan? Go ahead - it won't hurt if you mix 1-2 more cloves, pressed through, into the minced meat dough! Alternatively, you can add 1-2 tablespoons of freshly chopped parsley leaves and 2 teaspoons of mustard to the minced meat mixture. This makes the meatballs even more aromatic!
