It is ALWAYS a good day for meatballs - or as we call them here in South Africa... "Frikkadels" :D And those do indeed look incredibly tasty @eliany - I am not surprised that your little one ate them up like candy haha!!!

I don't often make frikkadels, but everyone is always happy when I do - especially me, because I generally serve them with mashed potato and I absolutely LOOOOVE mashed potato!!!

One of the things I love most about meatballs is that they are super adaptable! You can pretty much change them up however you want and create a completely unique taste experience every single time!

Sometimes when I make them, I add in finely diced bell peppers (normally the red and yellow ones as they are sweeter than the green ones. They add such a wonderful flavour punch!

Another thing which goes really well with that is coriander (dhanya/cilantro) - now THAT is amazing, but obviously only if you enjoy the flavour of coriander (which I do).

Oh and one more thing, which my mom taught me, which is REALLY handy... and that is to make a BIG batch of balls - some for that night and some you just roll into balls and place on a tray. Put them in the freezer (still on the tray) for about an hour then take them out and throw them into a freezer bag for future use and pop them back into the freezer. Then you have ready made home made meatballs the next time you want them - all you have to is take them out, defrost them, coat them in flour and fry them! :)
