# Directions:

06 - Remove the meatloaf from the oven, spread the remaining glaze over the top, then bake for an additional 20–25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
07 - While meatloaf bakes, place potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, season with 1 tsp salt, bring to a boil, then simmer until very tender, approximately 18–20 minutes.
08 - Drain potatoes thoroughly and return to the pot. Add warmed milk, butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy.
