  • Don't overwork the meatball mixture. Overworking will make the meatballs tough.
  • Use a large skillet to fry the meatballs. This will help prevent overcrowding and ensure that the meatballs cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you do, the meatballs will steam instead of fry and will not be as crispy.
  • Cook the meatballs over medium heat. This will help prevent them from burning.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meatballs are cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  • Serve the meatballs immediately with your favorite sauce.
