How to Make Potato Meatloaf with Mushrooms
Peel the potatoes and cut them into more or less regular pieces and cook them in salted boiling water for about 7-8 minutes or until they are soft with a fork.
Once cooked, pass them through a potato masher while still hot, add the salt
The grated cheese and the egg and mix everything.
Once you have obtained a homogeneous mixture, flatten it on a sheet of well-oiled parchment paper sprinkled with breadcrumbs, giving it a rectangular shape. Fill with speck, mushrooms, and cheese.
Then roll it up using the parchment paper and transfer it to a loaf pan.
Sprinkle the surface with breadcrumbs and a drizzle of oil. Bake the potato meatloaf in a preheated oven at 392°F for about 35-40 minutes.
Storage and Variations of Potato Meatloaf with Mushrooms
The meatloaf is even better the next day. This potato meatloaf lends itself to numerous variations: you can add a melting heart of mozzarella if you don’t like scamorza, or replace the speck with bacon or cooked ham, or use porcini mushrooms for a more intense flavor. For a vegetarian version, just eliminate the speck and increase the amount of mushrooms.
