(Disclaimer FTR: The reason I'm going non-gebrokts is really b/c we invited guests who only eat shemura matza for a chol hamo'ed meal and my matza meal is not shemura.)
Can I sub potato starch for the bread crumbs in my regular recipe? Does the amount need to be different? Am I better off subbing mashed potatoes instead of potato starch? If so, how much mashed potato for 1 lb. of chopped meat?
(I usually mix 1 lb. chopped meat, 1 beaten egg, 1/2 c. bread crumbs, 3/4 tsp. salt, 1/8 tsp. pepper.)
Thanks!

I rarely (unless following a recipe) put breadcrumbs into my meatballs. What I do for 1 lb (1/2 kg meat) is whiz a potato and onion in the food processor and add to the meatballs along with an egg and some olive oil (Israeli ground meat it a bit dry). I spice as I like and then I cook in a good, liquidy sauce and the meatballs are soft and juicy.
HTH (made them for Pesach on Thursday night!).

I supplement potato starch for bread crumbs on pesach and they come out fine. Although they are a little more sticky when forming them.

I never put breadcrumbs or matza meal in my meatballs -
1 onion
1 zucchini
1 carrot
mincemeat
1 egg
seasonings
Whizz the 3 vegetables in the chopper and add them to the meat and mix all together with a beaten egg and seasonings. Roll into balls and cook in sauce

Either use just meat, or add grated potatoes and/or grated vegetables.
Do not use potato starch as a filler.

I've used potato starch (or latkes mix) as binders and they came out fine, though the texture is a bit dense. No noticeable difference, though I reduced the amount slightly and added another egg (I was working from 3lbs of meat, 2lb beef and 1lb ground turkey).

All year around my mom makes meatballs with nothing added but onion and spices. They do not fall apart. My DH doesn't like them that way but I only add eggs-no breadcrumbs, flour, matzoh meal etc. I add 2 eggs to .5 K (approximately a pound), but you can add even less if you want.

My late lunch Erev Pesach meatballs will be just ground beef, eggs and spices.
