Get Prepped
1
  • Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Boil a large pot of salted water for the potatoes.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks.
  • Strip the leafy part of the kale from the stem. Tear into small pieces. Discard the stem.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Make the Mash
2
  • Add the potatoes to the boiling water.
  • Cook until fork tender, 12-18 mins. Add the kale in the final 2-3 mins of cooking time.
  • Drain in a colander and return to the pot, off the heat. 
  • Mash together with a knob of butter and a splash of milk or water.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.

  • Roll into evenly-sized balls, 3-4 per person. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw mince.
Bake the Meatballs
4
  • Pop the meatballs onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • When the oven is hot, bake on the top shelf until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-15 mins. IMPORTANT: Meatballs are cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
