Instructions

Combine pork, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, paprika, sage, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper in a bowl and mix.
Shape mixture into 16 meatballs and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a skillet and brown meatballs on all sides, about 6 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
Boil sweet potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 12-15 minutes, then drain.
In the skillet, deglaze with bourbon, then add maple syrup, mustard, and stock, stirring to simmer.
Return meatballs to skillet, cover, and cook for 8-10 minutes until cooked through.
Mash sweet potatoes with butter, cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth.
Whisk in cold butter to sauce off heat until velvety, then serve over meatballs and mash.

Notes

Avoid overmixing meatball mixture for tenderness.
Use room temperature ingredients for better mixing.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
