Peel and finely dice the onions. Mix the minced meat with the diced onion, eggs, and breadcrumbs, and season with salt and pepper. Shape the minced meat mixture into 24 meatballs and fry them in heated oil for about 6 minutes on all sides. Grease a large casserole dish or drip tray. Peel the cooked potatoes, halve or quarter them depending on their size, and arrange them in the casserole dish along with the meatballs and the washed cocktail tomatoes. Wash the chives, pat dry, and cut into rolls. Mix the crème fraîche, cream, eggs, salt, pepper, paprika, and chives, spread over the meatballs and potatoes, sprinkle with cheese, and place the dish on the oven rack. Bake for about 35 minutes using conventional heat (180°C, preheated) or fan-assisted (160°C, not preheated).
