Baking potatoes with meatloaf
Mashed potatoes go wonderfully with meatloaf, but baked potatoes or sweet potatoes are another super easy side dish. Place potatoes on a large baking sheet alongside the meatloaf. If they need to bake longer after the meatloaf is finished, move them to another pan and bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on size. Then, they should be ready when the meatloaf has finished resting.

Storage
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To thaw, place in the fridge overnight and then reheat at 350° until heated through.
You can also freeze it unbaked. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and foil and freeze. When ready to bake it, place it in the fridge overnight to thaw, and then bake as directed.

Notes
Lining the baking pan with aluminum foil makes for easy cleanup. I like to place a layer of parchment paper on top of the aluminum foil so the food does not bake directly on it.
