The meatloaf in air fryer

The family goes crazy for it, and it’s in a light version since nothing is fried.
The meatloaf with potatoes has a stuffing made of ham, cheese, and boiled eggs.
Cooked wrapped in parchment paper, this meatloaf gets nicely browned with a slight crust on the outside, without losing the necessary internal moisture that prevents it from becoming dry.
Accompanied by tasty potatoes.
For those who do not want or cannot use potatoes, you can use various vegetables or celeriac or even sweet potatoes.

The meatloaf in air fryer

Tools

What we need to make

1 Air Fryer
1 Knife
1 Bowl
1 Small pot
1 Parchment paper

Steps

To make

We start by choosing the ground meat: I prefer the top-quality, leaner kind, but you can also use pork, chicken, or turkey.
Let’s start the preparation by boiling the eggs,
Place the stale bread cut into pieces in a bowl with milk until softened, then squeeze it and put it in a bowl.
Prepare the Sicilian seasoned breadcrumbs, for the recipe click here
Now that we have all the bases, start kneading the meatloaf.
Take a good fresh ground meat, place it in a bowl, add the soaked and well-squeezed bread, the Sicilian breadcrumbs, the 2 eggs, a pinch of salt and pepper and start kneading.
Do not discard the leftover milk from the stale bread, as it may help to further moisten the dough.
Place the mixture on parchment paper and…
With moistened hands, spread it into a square.
Spread the diced ham on top.
Also cut the provolone
and, finally, the whole boiled eggs.
Sprinkle with seasonings, and using the parchment paper, roll the meatloaf tightly, ending with the ends like candy.
Place it in the air fryer tray, peel the potatoes, and cut them into pieces about 2 cm (0.8 inches) in size.
Preheat your air fryer and cook the meatloaf for 20 min at 356°F (180°C).
Halfway through cooking, turn both the meatloaf and the potatoes.
At the end of cooking, let the meatloaf rest on the cutting board without opening it for at least 10 minutes.
Then slice it and serve it.
