Ah, classic comfort food! Are you thinking about a recipe, meal ideas, or just talking about the combo in general? I can give you a simple way to make a delicious meatloaf with potatoes—or even a few creative twists.
Here’s a straightforward version:
Simple Meatloaf & Potatoes
Ingredients:
- For meatloaf:
- 1 lb ground beef (or mix beef & pork)
- 1 egg
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt, pepper, paprika to taste
- ¼ cup ketchup (plus extra for topping)
- For potatoes:
- 4 medium potatoes, cut into wedges or cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt, pepper, garlic powder, or rosemary
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix all meatloaf ingredients in a bowl. Shape into a loaf and place in a baking dish. Spread ketchup on top.
- Toss potatoes with olive oil and seasonings. Arrange around the meatloaf in the same dish or on a separate tray.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, until meatloaf is cooked through (internal temp ~160°F / 71°C) and potatoes are golden and tender.
- Let meatloaf rest 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve with potatoes.
Optional: Add a simple gravy or roasted vegetables for extra flair.
