Grandma's Keftedakia (Meatballs) with Baked Sweet Potatoes

One of my favorite things in the world is food, and one of my favorite foods in the world is keftedakia (meatballs). In my mother’s house, we had two doors; one for our apartment and one for my grandma’s. Both were on the same floor. The culinary highlight of the week was always Saturday, when the entire family gathered to eat at my grandma’s. In the morning, I’d watch kids’ shows on TV, never missing an episode of Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh!, and then I’d go to Tae-kwon-do practice. The trip home was my post-workout run, since I’d leave practice running but also climb the stairs to the third floor, where my home was, on foot. From the second floor, I could already smell my grandma’s cooking, and by the time I reached my apartment, my mouth was already watering. On Saturdays, I would open the door leading to my grandma’s apartment and always find her waiting for me, her apron greasy from frying keftedakia.
