Bacon-Wrapped Potato Meatloaf is a very appetizing recipe, perfect to serve on a Sunday with family or for a special occasion. It is very similar to the potato meatloaf with speck and cheese and the potato meatloaf in crust, two equally tasty, easy, and affordable main courses. The main ingredients to prepare it are: boiled potato dough, eggs, and parmesan. The meatloaf can be stuffed in many different ways: for example, you can add mushrooms or grilled vegetables like zucchini and eggplants. After baking, it gives a crispy crust while keeping a soft and cheesy interior! The rich and enveloping flavor will surely win you over.

How to Make Bacon-Wrapped Potato Meatloaf
Wash the potatoes and place them in a pot with cold water. Bring the water to a boil and let the potatoes cook for about 30 minutes. Once cooked, pass them through a potato masher while still hot with the skin on.
Add salt, grated cheese, and egg to the hot potatoes and mix everything until you get a well-blended dough.
Next, lay the bacon slices on a well-oiled sheet of paper, creating a rectangle.
Take the potato mixture and press it over the bacon slices, shaping it into a rectangle.
Fill with cheese, then roll and seal the sides by shaping the potatoes with your fingers. Close it with parchment paper.
Transfer it to a baking tray and bake the potato meatloaf in a preheated oven at 356°F (180°C) for about 30-35 minutes. Remove from oven and serve hot and cheesy.
Storage and Tips for Bacon-Wrapped Potato Meatloaf
The meatloaf can be stored in the refrigerator well-covered with plastic wrap. It can be frozen once cooled and sliced. For a vegetarian version, you can stuff it with grilled peppers, or with spinach and ricotta. A great variation could be filling it with meat sauce and cheese or accompanying it with a smooth béchamel.
