Steps to make the meatballs: Potatoes and Chicken with Creamy Mushroom Sauce
Step 1: Prepare the Meatballs:
Start by peeling and grating the potatoes. Once grated, place them in a clean cloth or cheesecloth and squeeze out any excess moisture to ensure your meatballs aren’t soggy.
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, minced chicken, grated onion, and garlic. Add the eggs, pepper, Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Gradually stir in the flour until the mixture comes together. The flour will help hold the meatballs together while cooking. Add the mayonnaise and stir again until smooth and combined. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. While the oil heats, shape the potato and chicken mixture into small, round meatballs, about the size of your palm. Fry the meatballs in batches, cooking each for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Step 2: Prepare the mushroom sauce: In a separate skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms release their moisture and become tender. Pour in the cream, stirring constantly, and simmer for another 5 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken. Season the sauce with nutmeg and salt, then add the grated mozzarella. Continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Step 3: Assemble and Serve: Arrange the cooked meatballs on serving plates. Generously spoon the creamy mushroom sauce over the meatballs. Garnish with chopped onions or fresh herbs, such as parsley, if desired. Serve hot with a side of vegetables, rice, or your favorite salad. Why this recipe is timeless: Potato and chicken meatballs with creamy mushroom sauce are a timeless dish because they combine the comforting and universally beloved flavors of potatoes and chicken, creating a meal that appeals to a wide range of tastes. The addition of fresh herbs and spices like garlic and Italian seasoning adds depth to the meatballs, while the creamy mushroom sauce enriches the dish with its luxurious texture and flavor. It’s a dish that feels both indulgent and homey, satisfying both comfort food cravings and something a little more elevated.
