Stuffed Meatloaf with Potatoes

Method

1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, eggs, grated cheese, salt, and pepper. Knead until well mixed.
2. Spread the mixture on a sheet of parchment paper into a rectangle about 30x50 cm, using wet hands to help.
3. Place cooked ham slices and cheese (avoid fresh cheeses like mozzarella unless thoroughly drained) on the lower part of the rectangle.
4. Using the parchment paper, roll the meat tightly into a log. Seal the ends and edges.
5. Drizzle the outside with olive oil, sprinkle with thyme, and wrap tightly in the parchment paper like a candy.
6. Cut potatoes into 1.5 cm cubes. Boil them in water for about 5 minutes, then drain.
7. In a bowl, toss the blanched potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, rosemary, coarse salt, and pepper.
8. Place the wrapped meatloaf on a baking sheet and surround it with the seasoned potatoes.
9. Bake in a static oven preheated to 180°C for 50 minutes. Then open the parchment paper, increase temperature to 220°C, and bake for another 5 minutes until golden.
10. Remove from oven, slice, and serve hot.
