Easy Meatballs in Creamy Sauce, Crushed Potatoes & Salad

An everyday favourite: Easy meatballs in creamy sauce

Easy meatballs in creamy sauce, crushed potatoes & salad is exactly the kind of home cooking the whole family will enjoy, and it comes together without any unnecessary fuss. The pre-seasoned pork-and-beef mince mixture speeds up the preparation, while the meatballs become wonderfully juicy as they simmer in a mustardy cream sauce. This meal is especially well suited to busy weeknights, but it is also so comforting and appealing that it works beautifully as a relaxed weekend meal shared together.

What makes these meatballs so good? In this recipe, the flavour is built from simple ingredients that work perfectly together: meatballs with a beautifully browned surface, smooth cooking cream, and just the right kick from Dijon mustard and soy sauce. The dish is also satisfyingly filling, with plenty of protein from the meatballs and energy-giving carbohydrates from the potatoes. Crisp iceberg lettuce and cucumber with a honey-mustard dressing balance the meal.

Handy tips and easy variations

Save time by peeling and chopping the potatoes into cold water and refrigerating them the day before. When shaping the meatballs, moisten your hands with oil so the mixture comes away cleanly. It is worth letting the sauce simmer gently: if it threatens to become too thick, simply add a splash of water. Would you like even more flavour? Try adding a pinch of garlic powder or more mustard to taste.

The best way to serve the meatballs and sides

Serve the meal family-style: place the crushed potatoes on a large serving platter, bring the meatballs and sauce straight from the pan to the table, and serve the salad in a fresh bowl. Cold milk, sparkling water or homemade lemon water make good drinks to accompany the meal. If you like, finish the potatoes with a small knob of butter and some black pepper.
