Ingredients (Serves 6-8)

1.5 lbs (680g) ground beef

2 medium potatoes (about 300g), peeled and shredded

1/2 cup (50g) Parmesan cheese, finely grated

1/2 cup (120ml) heavy cream

1/2 cup (120ml) beef broth

1/4 cup (60ml) milk

1 large egg

1/4 cup (30g) breadcrumbs

1 teaspoon ground allspice

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons unsalted butter (for frying)

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Cooked pasta or mashed potatoes (for serving)

Instructions

Prep the Ingredients: Secure the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater to your countertop with its stable suction base. Attach the 3-blade set and use the food pusher to safely shred the peeled potatoes into crisp strands. Switch to the 5-blade set to finely grate the Parmesan into fluffy pieces. The detachable handle makes large batches effortless, perfect for family portions.

Make the Meatballs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, shredded potatoes, grated Parmesan, egg, breadcrumbs, allspice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended. Roll the mixture into 1-inch (2.5cm) meatballs, yielding about 20-24 pieces.

Cook the Meatballs: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, frying for 6-8 minutes until browned on all sides. Remove and set aside.

Prepare the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the heavy cream, beef broth, milk, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sauce thickens, about 2-3 minutes.

Simmer: Return the meatballs to the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the meatballs to cook through.

Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot over cooked pasta or mashed potatoes for a hearty family meal.

Tips and Variations

Spice It Up: Add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.

Veggie Boost: Mix in grated carrots (using the 2-blade set) for added nutrition.

Storage: Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days or freeze for 1 month; reheat gently.

Pairing: Serve with lingonberry jam for an authentic IKEA touch.
