Instant Pot Meatloaf & Mashed Potatoes

Delicious Meatloaf and Potatoes all in your Instant Pot, amazing, easy peazy too
Serves 3-4

Ingredients for Meatloaf
2 pounds ground beef
1 egg
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1/3 cup ketchup or BBQ sauce
splash of Worcestershire
2 tablespoons minced garlic, fresh
2 tablespoons dried minced onion or 1/2 cup finely minced onion
2 teaspoons dried parsley
extra ketchup or BBQ sauce for topping, if desired

Ingredients for Potatoes
2 lbs. potatoes, chopped (I used Yukon Gold potatoes with skins left on)
1/2 cup half and half cream
1/2 cup or more chicken broth
2 tablespoons butter
Salt & Pepper to taste

Directions:
Mix ingredients for meatloaf in a large bowl.
Transfer to a disposable foil loaf pan or make your own loaf shaped pan out of tin foil.
Cut potatoes into smaller pieces and place at the bottom of Instant Pot. Arranged them in an even layer. Add 1 cup broth or water over potatoes.
Place the rack that comes with your Instant Pot over potatoes and set the meatloaf on top. (I had to squish the pan a little for it to fit, but that’s fine.) The rack will make it easy for you to take loaf out when it’s done.
Secure lid and set at Manual (high pressure) cook time to 25 minutes. Make sure steam release is closed.
When finished, do a quick release on the pressure.
Top with a little additional ketchup and place under the oven’s broiler for a few minutes to caramelize. (Optional, but yummy step!)
Meanwhile to make potatoes, mash them in the Instant Pot with half & half, broth, butter, salt, and pepper until creamy.
