Drain and place potatoes into a mixing bowl along with the butter, garlic, and plenty of salt & pepper.
Add a splash of milk or cream as you mix with a hand mixer, adding more milk as needed.
Keep warm with a lid or towel over the bowl until meatballs are ready.
For the Meatballs
Preheat Oven to 375.
Heat the olive oil in a small skillet, and cook the onion and garlic until tender.
Let cool slightly.
Start heating the chili sauce in a separate pan on low.
Add all ingredients except the chili sauce, into a large bowl and mix well.
Shape into walnut sized meatballs.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place the meatballs in rows, and bake at 375 for about 20 minutes or until cooked throughout.
Pour a good amount of heated chili sauce in a serving dish and place the meatballs on top.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve with the potatoes.
