Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Prepare the sauce: Heat olive oil in a saucepan. Add onion, celery, carrots, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are soft, about 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their marinade, bay leaf, basil, and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil and simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, 30 to 40 minutes. Season with salt.
Meanwhile, prepare the meatballs: Place the potatoes in a small saucepan, add enough water to cover them, add 2 teaspoons of salt, and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Cool slightly, then grate the potatoes on a coarse grater.

In a bowl, combine the ground meat, potatoes, Parmesan, milk, garlic, thyme, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt. Form the ground meat into small meatballs about 2.5 cm in diameter.
Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet. Place the meatballs in the hot skillet and brown on all sides for 8 minutes. Add the sauce and continue cooking for another 5 minutes.
Fill baguettes with meatballs and pour generous amount of sauce over them. Sprinkle with sandwiches Parmesan.
