Method
- Preheat the oven to 400F and prepare a baking sheet with a baking rack. You can bake directly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, but you must flip the meatballs halfway through cooking.
- Mix all meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Use a fork to mix to keep the meat tender. Roll the mixture into balls and place them on the rack.
- Bake the meatballs for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they reach a safe internal temperature. Check the temperature with a meat thermometer.
- Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water, adding about one inch of water above the potatoes. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and put them in a stand mixer bowl with the whip attachment, or a large bowl if using a hand mixer.
- Add the butter and start whipping on low speed. Slowly add the milk. Once the milk is incorporated, increase the speed to high and whip until the potatoes are smooth. Stop the machine to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. Add more milk if the potatoes seem too stiff.
- Season the potatoes with salt to your taste.
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat and add the chopped onions. Sauté the onions until they are soft and translucent.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and whisk to make a roux. Add the beef broth, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce, continuing to whisk. Season with salt and pepper as needed. If the gravy needs more thickening, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry, then whisk the slurry into the gravy until it thickens.
- When the meatballs are cooked, add them to the gravy and toss to coat them completely.
- Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates, top with the meatballs and gravy, and sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
