Boil 40% of the potatoes and mash them.

Finely grate 60% of the potatoes and squeeze out the liquid, letting it sit for 15 minutes to collect starch.

Add the collected starch to the mashed and grated potatoes to help bind them together.

Mix the onion and seasoning into the ground beef.

Add 2 eggs to the meat mixture and combine until it's soft but not sticky.

Wrap the meatballs in the potato mixture.

Place the wrapped meatballs in salted boiling water and cook for 30-40 minutes until they float to the surface.
