There’s a fun surprise inside each meatball—a pocket of gooey cheese. We use a combination blue cheese for its rich flavor and cream cheese for its smooth creaminess. In place of the usual breadcrumbs, we fold in instant potato flakes; they’re a fantastic gluten-free option that give the meatballs a hefty texture and more savory flavor. The quick ranch-style yogurt sauce offers a cooling contrast to the heat of the meatballs.
