Bitokes - Russian Meatballs image

These have been a family favorite for years. My Mom made them for me when I was a kid and now I make them for my kids! You can use store bought meatballs, but they are MUCH better if you make your own. Be sure to let them sit overnight to let all the flavors blend. Truly Delicious!
