Mashed Potato Stuffed Meatballs Recipes

MEATBALLS & MASHED POTATOES

Steps:

• Fill a large pot halfway with water. Add the cubed potatoes and cook at a gentle boil until tender, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the breadcrumbs and milk to a bowl and allow to soak until it turns into a paste.
• Combine the ground beef with the paste and mix together thoroughly with your hands.
• Form evenly sized meatballs, around 1 1/4 inch in diameter, compacting the meat into a sturdy ball.
• Add the meatballs to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Allow them to brown on one side before turning them over. Attempt to evenly brown the balls on each side. This process takes about 10 minutes.
• When finished, remove the meatballs from the pan. Add water to the pan and whisk in the brown gravy mix. Simmer until slightly thickened.
• When the potatoes have finished cooking, drain the water. Mash the potatoes with a masher or hand mixer. Add butter and milk and stir well to combine.
• Serve meatballs with mashed potatoes and gravy over top.

MASH POTATO AND STUFFING BALLS

Steps:

• Combine leftover mashed potatoes, leftover stuffing, one egg, and approximately 1/2 of the bread crumbs.
• This particular recipe yields 10 ping-pong-ball size stuffing balls, but you can change the recipe to whatever suits your family, and depends on the amount of leftovers you have. The consistency of the balls should be sticky, but not UBER sticky.
• Roll the balls in the remaining bread crumbs to coat evenly.
• Set aside until all the balls are ready.
• Heat oil in a pan; the oil should be half way up the ball in the pan, so use approximately 1/2 to 1 cup of oil, depending on the size and depth of your pot or pan.
• Fry for 2 or 3 minutes until golden all over, rolling around as needed.
• Let rest on paper towels until you are ready to serve.
• That's it; super simple and REALLY tasty.
