6
Heat the pan over medium-high heat and drizzle the olive oil over it.

💡What you brown (meat, patties, schnitzel) goes into hot oil: in lukewarm oil it soaks it up and comes out greasy. For onion and garlic that you soften, oil heated over medium or low heat is enough; do not wait for it to smoke.
7
Fry the meatballs 3–4 minutes per side, until they brown.
Stove
💡Don't press the patties with a spatula or flip them more than once: the juices run out and the patty dries out or falls apart. It releases from the pan once the underside is browned.
8
Serve with sour cream.
