Mashed Potatoes

1. Begin by peeling and cutting the potatoes into evenly sized pieces. Rinse thoroughly. 2. Boil the potatoes in a pot of salted water until they are soft and easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes. 3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add the milk or cream and butter or margarine. Mash the potatoes until they reach your desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep warm.

Meatballs

1. In a bowl, mix together the ground beef or mixed ground meats, bread crumbs, half of a medium egg, and your chosen spices and herbs. Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. 2. Form the meat mixture into small balls, roughly the size of a walnut. 3. Heat the olive oil or cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until evenly browned and cooked through, about 10-15 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
