AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS
Meatball recipes are often challenged by chefs who claim, "Mine are the best!" Even though my meatballs ARE the best, I will make no such claim. Try them for yourself! This meatball recipe was given to me by my father who got it from a little old lady from Italy that he knew. It's amazing that she gave up her recipe to him, but I sure am glad she did!

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients in a large bowl by hand.
- Use your bare hands for best results.
- Roll meatballs to about the size of a golf ball. (wet your hands to prevent the meat from sticking to them while rolling the meat balls).
- Drop raw meatballs into large (I use a stock pot) pot of sauce.
- (I have an incredible sauce recipe {#92096} I use for my meatballs).
- Simmer for about 3 hours.
AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS/POLPETTE
My mom's friend who is Italian gave me a copy of her family cookbook that they had bound and published. It was a wedding shower gift that I treasure. As a newlywed I used this recipe a lot! I've been married 16 years and I make these with spaghetti, for meatball sandwiches, and smaller versions for appetizers to take in a crockpot to parties. Some friends think it is strange to put uncooked meatballs in the sauce, but that's what the recipe says to do. It cooks for a long time, and the meatballs keep their shape. I do not make my own spaghetti sauce. I buy two large jars of Ragu. No one seems to notice, or care!!Always a hit!!! Makes a lot and freezes well.

AUTHENTIC ITALIAN MEATBALLS WITH TOMATO SAUCE
Just about anywhere you go in Italy, you'll find Meatballs ('polpette')! And just about anywhere you go, you'll find a different recipe for them. However, despite local variations, meatballs across the country of Italy mostly share a few key ingredients in common. We are partial to our Italian Grandma recipe, served in a quick tomato sauce.

Steps:
- Boil, peel and mash the yellow potatoes. Mix in 1 Tbs of olive oil and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, mix together: pork, beef, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, parsley, salt, black pepper, minced garlic and nutmeg.
- Beat one whole egg and add to the mix.
- Add the mashed potatoes. Mix all ingredients thoroughly with a spoon or your hands.
- Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours. Even better? Let them rest for 8-24 hours to allow the flavors to develop.
- Add several tablespoons of olive oil, the garlic, and tomato pulp or purée to a medium pot.
- Bring the sauce to a boil then reduce heat. Add salt, red chili pepper and fresh basil to taste.
- Simmer covered for 30 minutes. Remove the cloves of garlic from the sauce after the simmer.
- Form meatballs into 20-22 round balls. Coat each ball with fine breadcrumbs.
- Add a high-heat oil (like peanut) to a skillet (about 2 inches or 5 cm high). Heat oil to around 355° F - 375° F (180° C - 190° C).
- Fry the meatballs in batches. When the bottom of the meatballs brown, flip and continue frying until golden brown.
- When you think the batch is done, remove one meatball and cut open to inspect. Meat should NOT be pink inside. When meatballs are finished frying, transfer to a surface covered with paper towels.
- Bring tomato sauce to simmer. Add meatballs to the sauce. Simmer meatballs in sauce for 30 minutes and serve!
