Prepare the meat mixture with 1 pound of ground pork and 1 pound of ground beef.

Add 2 cups of flour and 1 cup of rolled oats to the meat mixture.

Pour in about 1.5 cups of milk.

Grate one whole onion and add it to the mixture along with its juice.

Season with a hint of all spice, cracked black pepper, and salt.

Add 2 whole eggs and mix everything together until well combined, ensuring the mixture is wet.

Chill the mixture in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Slice the red cabbage and sauté it in melted butter, adding salt, black pepper, red wine vinegar, and sugar to taste.

Cook the cabbage until it wilts down and adjust seasoning as needed.

Form the meat mixture into elongated balls and fry them in a pan with margarine, cooking for about 5-7 minutes on each side.

Place cooked meatballs on a cookie sheet in a warm oven (200-210°F) to keep warm while cooking the rest.

Boil the baby Dutch yellow potatoes in salted water until tender, then peel them.

Melt equal parts sugar and butter in a pan, then toss the boiled potatoes in the caramel mixture and cook until coated.
