📝 Preparation Steps

For the sweet potatoes: Add the potatoes to the pan, tossing to coat in the butter. Pour in 1 cup water and the heavy cream, then add 1 teaspoon salt. Stir, cover and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are very tender, about ⏱️ 20 minutes.

Remove from the heat. Uncover, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, remaining ½ teaspoon salt and the pepper and mash well. Keep warm.

Meanwhile, for the meatballs: Mix the pork, panko, apple, chopped sage, garlic, salt, pepper, allspice and egg in a large bowl with your hands to combine.

Serve the meatballs over the potatoes. Top with the crispy sage.
