Ingredients
  

For the meatballs
  • 1 pound ground beef (80/20) Works well for flavor and moisture.
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or panko) For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs or crushed gluten-free crackers.
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup beef broth
For the mashed potatoes
  • 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed (Yukon Gold or Russet)
  • 1/2 cup cream Or milk for a lighter mash.
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs, chopped (parsley or thyme) Use rosemary or chives for a twist.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, add ground beef, chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix gently with your hands until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  2. Form the mixture into 12 to 14 even meatballs. Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
Cooking
  1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a little oil. Place meatballs in the pan and brown on all sides for about 6 to 8 minutes.
  2. Pour in the beef broth, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes until cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, bring a pot of salted water to boil, add cubed potatoes, and cook until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
  4. Add cream, butter, garlic powder, and chopped herbs to the hot potatoes and mash until smooth.
  5. Spoon mashed potatoes onto plates, nestle meatballs on top, and drizzle with pan sauce.
