Parsley Meatballs with Potato Mash

Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks. Place them in a pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until tender.

2. 2

   While the potatoes are cooking, finely chop the onion, green onions, and parsley.

3. 3

   In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, chopped onion, green onions, parsley, egg, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

4. 4

   Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a walnut.

5. 5

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through.

6. 6

   Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return to the pot. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste. Optionally, add a splash of olive oil or a little milk for extra creaminess.

7. 7

   Serve the parsley meatballs hot over the potato mash. Garnish with extra chopped parsley if desired.
