Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix ground pork, panko, egg, 1 tsp salt, and 0.5 tsp pepper in a bowl until just combined, then roll into 16 meatballs.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, then add meatballs without crowding.

  3. Step 3

    Cook 3 minutes per side without stirring until deep golden brown and cooked through, then remove to a plate.

  4. Step 4

    Add lingonberry jam and dijon mustard to the skillet, stirring 1 minute until the glaze is warm and glossy.

  5. Step 5

    Return meatballs to the pan and toss gently for 30 seconds to coat, then remove from heat.

  6. Step 6

    Divide warm mashed potatoes among bowls, top with meatballs and glaze, then drizzle with sour cream mixed with fresh dill.
