Homemade Meatballs with Creamy Mashed Potatoes – A Classic Comfort Meal

Serve immediately for the creamiest mashed potatoes and juiciest meatballs.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

Variations

Herbed Meatballs: Add fresh parsley, thyme, or rosemary to the meat mixture for extra flavor.

Cheesy Mashed Potatoes: Stir in grated cheese (cheddar or parmesan) for a richer mash.

Gravy Upgrade: Make a quick pan gravy using the meatball drippings, a splash of broth, and a teaspoon of flour.

A: Yes, bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 minutes or until fully cooked.

Q: Can I make this meal ahead?
A: Prepare meatballs in advance and refrigerate. Mash potatoes just before serving for the best texture.
