Steps for Preparing Cheesy Potato Meatloaf
First, peel the potatoes and wash them. Then cut them into chunks and boil or steam them after lightly salting. When they are very soft, place them in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg and mash with a fork. Let cool.
Once they’ve cooled, add the grated cheese, breadcrumbs, and egg, and mix until homogeneous. Spread a sheet of parchment paper. Sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Shape the potato mixture into a rectangle.
Cover the potatoes with slices of cheese and roll them, using the parchment paper to help. Drizzle the meatloaf with olive oil and bake at 350°F for about 30 minutes.
Storage
