You can do that, but as-is it’s incomplete and unsafe if you cook it wrong.
Raw cubed potatoes + frozen meatballs need enough time + moisture + heat so both fully cook (especially potatoes, which take longer).
Here’s a simple way to turn your idea into a proper one-pan meal:
Oven method (best option)
- Heat oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Put cubed potatoes in a baking dish.
- Add:
- frozen meatballs
- 2–3 tbsp oil
- salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika (optional)
- Pour in ½ to 1 cup broth or water (important so potatoes cook through).
- Cover tightly with foil.
- Bake 35–45 minutes, stirring halfway.
- Remove foil for the last 10 minutes to brown everything.
Key point
- Meatballs usually just need reheating.
- Potatoes are the limiting factor — if they’re still firm, they need more time or smaller cubes.
If you want, I can turn this into a slow cooker version, air fryer version, or a dump-and-go recipe with sauce options (BBQ, marinara, creamy).
