Preparation
Start the sheet pan
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Medium-dice the potatoes. On a lined sheet pan, toss with a drizzle of oil, ½ the spices and S&P. Roast, 10 to 12 min., until partially cooked.
Prepare the meatballs & sauce
Meanwhile, zest the lemon. Mince the garlic. In a large bowl, combine the beef, garlic, panko, ½ the lemon zest, 1 egg (double for 4 portions), the remaining spices and S&P. Form into 8 meatballs (double for 4 portions). In a small bowl, microwave 1 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp water (double both for 4 portions) and the cranberry sauce, in 30 sec. increments, until combined.
Finish the sheet pan
When the potatoes are partially cooked, flip and add the meatballs. Roast, 10 to 12 min., until the meatballs* are cooked through and the potatoes are tender. Switch the oven to broil. Drizzle the sheet pan with the sauce. Broil, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to brown.
Make the salad
Meanwhile, quarter the lemon. Cut the kohlrabi into matchsticks. Thinly slice the cucumbers crosswise. In a second large bowl, combine the sour cream, juice of ½ the lemon wedges, the remaining lemon zest, 1 tsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P. Add the kohlrabi and cucumbers.
Plate your dish
Divide the sheet pan and salad between your plates. Garnish with the remaining lemon wedges. Bon appétit!
