They never last. You can find some of the great grandchildren offer to help her carry them in just so they can steal one before everyone else gets to them.

Instructions

  1. In a large frying pan put enough olive oil into it to bring it about half way up pan.
  2. Place a piece of Italian bread in the oil. (This is to remove the bitter smell of the oil).
  3. Heat on medium high.
  4. Once bread is brown but not burnt, remove it.
  5. Shape meatballs about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Or as you feel is the right size.
  6. Place each meatball in oil and brown lightly on all sides. (Do not fully cook them - Just lightly brown them).
  7. Remove to a paper towel to soak up some of the oil.
  8. Finish cooking meatballs in your favorite sauce for about another 30 minutes.
