Tips for Perfect Meatballs with Potatoes and Cheese
- For Extra Flavor: Add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the cream sauce.
- Cheese Choices: Use Gruyère, Parmesan, or a smoky gouda for unique flavor profiles.
- Vegetable Additions: Toss in sliced zucchini, carrots, or spinach for added nutrients.
- Make It Ahead: Assemble the dish the night before, refrigerate, and bake fresh the next day.
Why This Dish Works
This recipe combines three universally loved components:
- Juicy Meatballs: The breadcrumbs and egg keep them moist, while the searing adds flavor.
- Creamy Potatoes: The soft, creamy texture of baked potatoes soaked in cream contrasts perfectly with the meatballs.
- Melted Cheese: The cheesy topping ties everything together, creating a rich, decadent finish.
