Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. Dice @potatoes{1%lb} into ½-inch pieces. Finely chop @chives{2%tbsp}. Halve, peel, and thinly slice @onion{1%unit}; mince a few slices until you have 2 TBSP. Trim @green beans{8%oz}, if necessary.

Place potatoes in a #medium pot{} with enough salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil and cook until tender ~{20%minutes}. Reserve ½ cup potato cooking liquid, then drain and return potatoes to pot. Mash with @sour cream{2%tbsp} and 1 TBSP @butter{3%tbsp} until smooth, adding splashes of reserved potato cooking liquid as needed. Stir in half the chives, @salt{1%tsp}, and @black pepper{1%tsp}. Keep covered off heat.

While potatoes cook, in a #medium bowl{}, combine @ground beef{12%oz}, @panko breadcrumbs{2%tbsp}, minced onion, 1 TBSP @water{1%cups}, half the @fry seasoning{1%packet}, salt, and a pinch of pepper. Form into 10-12 1½-inch meatballs.

Place meatballs on one side of a lightly oiled #baking sheet{}. Toss green beans on empty side with a drizzle of @olive oil{2%tbsp}, salt, and pepper. Roast on top rack until meatballs are cooked through and green beans are browned and tender ~{16%minutes}.

Meanwhile, melt 1 TBSP butter in a #large pan{} over medium-high heat. Add sliced onion; cook, stirring, until softened ~{9%minutes}. Add a drizzle of oil, half the @flour{2%tbsp}, and remaining fry seasoning; cook, stirring, until lightly browned ~{2%minutes}. Whisk in ¾ cup water and @beef stock concentrate{1%tbsp}. Bring to a simmer, whisking, until thickened ~{4%minutes}. Reduce heat to low; stir in another 1 TBSP butter.

Season gravy with salt and pepper. Add meatballs and stir to coat. If gravy seems too thick, stir in a splash of water. Turn off heat. Divide potatoes between plates; top with meatballs and gravy. Add green beans to the side. Garnish with remaining chives and serve.
