Hasan Pasha meatballs with mashed potatoes are a Turkish home-style dish: seasoned ground meat is shaped into meatballs, topped with mashed potato and baked, often with a tomato-based sauce. Recipes vary from household to household.
The savoury, browned meat contrasts with the soft, mild topping. In Turkey, the dish is usually served hot as a main course, commonly alongside salad or vegetables; elsewhere, it makes a hearty meal with a simple green salad. It provides protein and iron. For a lighter version, use lean mince, go easy on the fat in the mash and serve with plenty of vegetables.
