Cooking Steps
- Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat.
- Roughly mash 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter and 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) milk into potatoes until slightly mashed. (NOTE: 'Smashed' potatoes will still have a few chunks!) Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Meanwhile, trim snap peas.
- Peel, then halve carrot lengthwise. Cut into 1/4-inch half-moons.
- Peel, halve, then cut onion into 1/2-inch slices.
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Combine stock powder and 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add garlic, breadcrumbs and beef and pork mix to a large bowl. Season with pepper and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs. (TIP: If you prefer more tender meatballs, add an egg to the mixture!)
- Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast in the top of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 12-14 min.**
- Heat a large oven-proof pan over medium heat. (TIP: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, use a large non-stick pan.)
- When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then onions and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until slightly softened, 3-4 min.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, then add vinegar and 1 tsp (2 tsp) sugar. Cook, stirring often, until onions are dark golden-brown, 3-4 min.
- Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then sprinkle all-purpose flour over onions. Cook, stirring often, until coated, 1 min.
- Stir in stock (from step 2). Bring to a gentle boil.
- Add snap peas, carrots and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Roast in the middle of the oven, stirring halfway through, until tender, 8-10 min.
- Once gravy is boiling, add meatballs to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until gravy is slightly thickened, 3-4 min.
- Remove from heat. Sprinkle cheese over top and bake in the top of the oven, until cheese melts slightly, 3-4 min. (TIP: If you don't have an oven-proof pan, carefully transfer meatball mixture to an 8x8-inch baking dish [9x13-inch for 4 ppl].)(NOTE: Cheese will be hot, be careful!)
- Divide smashed potatoes and veggies between plates.
- Arrange meatball-onion gravy over smashed potatoes.
