Ingredients

• 1 ⅓ cups heavy cream
• ¾ cup rolled oats
• 8 teaspoons potato flour
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 4 tablespoons finely chopped onion
• 1 pound 85% lean ground beef
• 2 teaspoons ground allspice
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Cooking Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
2. Mix cream, oats, potato flour, salt, and pepper together in a bowl. Let sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to allow oats to absorb the liquid; paste should have the consistency of mashed potatoes.
3. Melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook and stir onion until softened but still pale, 3 to 4 minutes. Add onions to the oat paste and mix well. And ground beef and allspice; mix just until combined, 30 to 45 seconds.
4. Oil your hands and roll mixture into meatballs of desired size, ideally smaller than a golf ball. Place meatballs on a sheet pan.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are hot, about 10 minutes. Let cool briefly.
6. Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add oil. Cook and stir meatballs, about 10 at a time, until browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
