Potato Meatloaf with Speck and Cheese

Today’s recipe is ideal for festive meals and family Sundays. The potato meatloaf with speck and cheese can be prepared well in advance and is really versatile! If you don’t like the filling, you can replace it with your favorite cured meats and cheeses, and for a Vegetarian version, you can add grilled vegetables.
