- Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20 minutes, or until browned and cooked through.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced onion and garlic, sauté until translucent.
- Stir in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, bring to a simmer. Slowly whisk in cornstarch slurry and simmer until gravy thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place chopped potatoes and garlic in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Cook until tender.
- Drain and return potatoes and garlic to the pot. Add milk and butter, mash until smooth. Stir in salt, black pepper, and parsley.
- Add cooked meatballs to gravy, gently tossing to coat.
- Serve meatballs over garlic herb mashed potatoes, drizzling with extra gravy.
Notes
Let the meat mix rest before shaping for better binding. Use a light touch when mixing to keep the meat tender. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 2-3 days, add milk when reheating mashed potatoes.
