Method
- Preheat your oven to 400F. Prepare a baking sheet with a baking rack. You can also bake directly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, but flip the meatballs halfway through.
- In a large bowl, mix all meatball ingredients. Use a fork to combine them gently, which helps keep the meat tender. Roll the mixture into balls and place them on the prepared baking rack.
- Bake the meatballs for 25-30 minutes, or until they are fully cooked. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature.
- Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot. Cover them with water by about an inch. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and cook until the potatoes are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a stand mixer bowl fitted with a whip attachment, or a large bowl if using a hand mixer. Add the butter and start whipping on low speed. Gradually add the milk while continuing to whip. Increase the speed to high and whip until the potatoes are smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed. Add more milk if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Season the mashed potatoes with salt to your preference.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until they are soft and translucent.
- Sprinkle the flour over the onions and whisk to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ketchup, and Worcestershire sauce. Continue whisking until the gravy thickens. If it's too thin, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to make a slurry, then add it to the gravy and whisk until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the gravy and toss to coat. Spoon the mashed potatoes onto plates, top with the sauced meatballs, and sprinkle with fresh parsley.

Notes
This recipe is a great base for customization. For a gluten-free version, ensure your panko bread crumbs are certified gluten-free. For a low-carb option, you can omit the bread crumbs in the meatballs and serve the Salisbury steak mixture over cauliflower mash instead of potatoes.
