German Onion Meatloaf with Potatoes

Method

1. 1

   Prep the ingredients

   Finely dice the onion, beat the egg, chop the parsley, and peel and cut the potato into pieces.
2. 2

   Mix the meatloaf

   Combine the ground beef, ground pork, onion, egg, breadcrumb, dijon mustard, parsley, 1 tsp salt, and a few grinds of black pepper in a mixing bowl; shape into a loaf.

   6 min

   Tip: Mix just until combined; working the meat too much can make the loaf dense.

3. 3

   Bake the meatloaf

   Set the loaf in a loaf pan and bake in a 200°C oven; insert a thermometer into the center near the end of cooking.

   45 min

   Tip: If the top browns early, loosely cover the loaf pan with foil for the remaining bake.

4. 4

   Boil the potatoes

   Add the potato to a large pot of salted water, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over medium heat until tender; drain carefully.

   20 min
5. 5

   Mash the potatoes

   Mash the potato in the pot with the 2% milk and butter; stir in 1/2 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper.

   5 min

   Tip: Warm the milk first if you want the mash to stay hot and turn out especially smooth.

6. 6

   Taste and serve

   Taste the potatoes and add up to 1/4 tsp salt and a few grinds of black pepper if needed; slice the meatloaf and serve alongside.
