Meat loaf with mashed potatoes

For 4 persons

500 g minced beef
300 g sausage meat
200 g dry bread
1 onion
2 eggs
Milk
Butter
Herbs, seasoning

Mashed potato
1 kg floury potatoes
Salted water
100 g butter
2.5 dl milk
Salt, pepper, nutmeg

Lay the bread in hot milk, and then squeeze the milk out of the bread using a sieve before adding the eggs, seasoning, parsley and onion and turning the mixture into a puree using the multi-purpose blade. Then knead the whole mixture with the minced beef and sausage meat thoroughly, season it and shape it into a joint of meat. Then place it in a greased gratin dish or cake tin and cook in a pre-heated oven at 200° C. At ten minute intervals, pour liquid butter over the joint three times. Reduce the oven temperature to 120° C and leave the joint to cook for a further 20 minutes, approximately. Boil vegetables separately and make a gravy if you wish.

Garnish: carrots, celeriac, gravy
Peel the potatoes, dice them and boil them in lightly salted water until they are soft. Drain the water off the potatoes and then leave the potatoes on a hot plate for a short time to allow any excess steam to evaporate.

Using the bamix® and the whisk (with the motor switched off) mash the potatoes well. Add butter, hot milk and seasoning and puree everything together using the bamix® on the second setting but without making any circular motions.
