1. Make the meatballs: Mix all the meatball ingredients together. I like to get in there and use my hands to make sure everything is evenly dispersed.
2. Fry the meatballs: Heat the olive oil over your pressure cooker’s saute setting. Brown the meatballs in batches on all sides. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
3. Make the gravy: With the saute setting still on, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the beef broth and season with salt and pepper. Add the meatballs back to the pot and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. When the timer is up, quick release the pressure as per manufacturer's instructions.
4. Finish your Swedish meatballs: Remove the meatballs from the pot. Turn the saute setting back on and reduce the gravy for 4-5 minutes, then stir in the sour cream. Pour the gravy over the meatballs and garnish with your chopped herbs.
