Peel and wash the potatoes and cook in salted water for about 20 minutes
Wash and chop the herbs. Peel onions. Dice 1 onion finely, cut the rest into slices. Knead minced meat, herbs, diced onion, egg and breadcrumbs. Season with mustard, paprika, salt and pepper. Form approx. 12 flat thalers from the minced mass. Fry in hot oil for 4-5 minutes on each side. Keep warm
Fry the onion slices in the frying fat. Stir in tomato paste and sweat briefly. Deglaze with stock, bring to the boil and simmer for about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper
Drain the potatoes. Arrange on plates with meatballs and onion sauce. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Makes the meatballs even spicier: knead in 1 tablespoon of ready roasted onions or 1 crushed clove of garlic
