Pork Meatball with Creamy Potato - Simple!

Pork Meatball with Creamy Potato ia a very simple home-made dish. My mum made this regularly during my childhood. This dish certainly brings back a lot of good memories. Mum's version uses minced pork whereas I prefer to make the minced pork into meatball. I think this produced a more meaty and tender version. Minced pork can become rubbery when overcooked. I like the tender, tasty meatball and the creamy and buttery potatoes in a rich and delicious sauce. Love it!
