  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Mashed Potatoes
  • 2 cups potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/2 cup milk For creaminess
  • 2 tbsp butter For richness
  • 1 tbsp fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme), chopped For flavor and freshness
For Serving
  • 1/2 cup beef broth To pour over the meatballs and potatoes

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
  3. Roll the mixture into meatballs and place them on a baking sheet with a little space between them.
Cooking Meatballs
  1. Bake the meatballs for 25 to 30 minutes, until cooked through and browned on the outside.
Preparing Mashed Potatoes
  1. While the meatballs bake, add the peeled, cubed potatoes to a pot of salted water and boil until tender.
  2. Drain the potatoes, then mash with the milk, butter, and chopped fresh herbs until creamy and smooth.
Serving
  1. Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates, pile the meatballs on top, and pour the beef broth over everything.

Notes

Do not overmix the meat; aim for evenly sized meatballs for consistent cooking. Season the potato water to enhance flavor. Mash while potatoes are hot for best texture.
