Add all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl, except for the dredging flour and frying oil.
Add flour to a plate or a bowl seasoned with a bit of salt and pepper. Set aside.
Add oil (you can use any oil you have on hand, even olive oil) to a frying pan, about 1/2". Turn heat onto medium heat, and let the oil heat up.
Mix together meatball mixture thoroughly with your hands.
At this point, you can take a bit of the meat mixture, fry it, and check if the seasoning is to your liking.
Once the seasoning is perfect for you, start shaping into meatballs - each meatball should be about the size of a walnut.
Roll each meatball in flour. Shake off excess.
Add to frying pan, leaving space between meatballs.
Fry until nicely browned on one side, roll over and brown on the other. Keep rolling meatballs until they are brown all over.
Place cooked meatballs on a paper towel to soak up any excess oil.
Makes about 60 meatballs.
Serve with tzatziki, olive oil fried potatoes, and a traditional greek salad.
