2. In a blender, add the garlic, thyme, mustard, lemon juice, oil, chicken cube, oregano, and blend well until it becomes a cream.
3. In a pan, add a little oil and sauté the potatoes for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4. Place the potatoes in a baking dish and pour the lemon sauce over them, mixing well. Finally, shape the meatballs to your preferred size, place them on top of the potatoes, and bake in the oven at 190 degrees Celsius for about 45 minutes, depending on the oven; it may take more or less time.
Good luck!
