Swedish meatballs and potatoes 🇸🇪

Ingredients for the Meatballs:

• 125 g of minced meat per person
• 1 egg
• 30 grams of breadcrumbs for one portion
• 25 ml of milk per portion
• Onion
• Garlic

Ingredients for the potatoes:

• Preference for potatoes that roast well in the oven
• Shop-stick

Ingredients for the sauce:

• Mushrooms
• Wine
• 1 spoon of corn starch
• Onion
• Garlic
• Parsley

Recipe:

• Prepare the potatoes by putting the shop-stick around the potatoes on the bottom and top part
• Cut fine slices in the potatoes and be careful to not cut the potatoes in half with the help of the shop-sticks
• Season it with salt, pepper & olive oil and put in the oven at 190° for 30-45 min
• For the meatballs, stir the minced meat, egg, breadcrumbs, milk and the chopped onion & garlic and create balls of 80g
• In a pan or pot, on medium eat, put a bit of olive oil put the meatballs and cover them for 5 min
• After 5 min turn the meatballs and cover again for 5 min and then reserve them for later
• Time to do the sauce, in the same pot or pan but the onions, garlic, parsley and mushrooms that are chopped, cook them for few minutes
• Add up the wine and wait for reduction (5 to 10 min depending on the heat)
• Bland the sauce, if you don't have blender leave it like this
• Add the corn starch and stir it a bit to have a homogeneous sauce
• Put back the meatballs in the sauce and cover it for 5 min
• Serve them with the potatoes

Recommendations:

• I like to serve it with glazed veggies such as carrots
• To do glazed veggies, boil water in a pot, add some sugar, put your veggies and cover the top with a cooking paper with a little hole in the middle, let it cook for 15 min then remove the paper and cook it again for 10 more minutes.
