Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef
- 0.5 pounds Ground pork
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 0.5 cups Bread crumbs
- 0.25 cups Milk
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cups Ketchup
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Potatoes, peeled and shredded
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Optional: parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard loaf pan and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, milk, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Transfer the meat mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down firmly to form an even layer.
Using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, pat the shredded potatoes dry to remove excess moisture.
In a medium bowl, toss the shredded potatoes with olive oil, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Spread the seasoned shredded potatoes in an even layer on top of the meatloaf, pressing them gently into the surface to adhere.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 75 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the meatloaf reaches 160°F (71°C).
If the shredded potatoes are not golden and crisp after 75 minutes, turn on the broiler and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Remove the meatloaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Optional: Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Potato Crusted Meatloaf!
