In a large bowl, combine the ground meat, grated potatoes, chopped leeks, grated onion, egg, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, dried mint, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Using your hands, form the mixture into small, uniform meatballs (about 1.5 inches in diameter).
- 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- 4
Carefully place the meatballs in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry in batches if necessary.
- 5
Cook the meatballs for about 8-10 minutes, turning them occasionally, until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).

Remove the cooked meatballs from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Serve hot as a main course, with a side of yogurt or a fresh salad.
