INSTRUCTIONS
Meatballs
-
Mix the cream with the breadcrumbs and set aside for 10 minutes until the cream is absorbed. (time to start boiling the potatoes now)
-
Finely chop the onion
-
Mix the minced meat with salt, nutmeg, allspice and black pepper until it’s evenly spread.
-
Add the egg and mix until the minced meat becomes solid again. Stir in the bread crumbs mixture and onion.
-
Pour cold water on your hands to form small fine meatballs. Fry a few at a time in a frying pan with butter. The difficult part is to keep the round shape and at the same time get a good sear around.

-
Stir the mashed potatoes until it’s fluffy.
Gravy

Crumble the meat broth and add it to the saucepan. Add water. Let the sauce boil for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
