How to Make Leftover Mashed Potato Meatloaf

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, place 2 cups of leftover mashed potatoes and set aside.
In a heavy skillet over medium heat, sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons olive oil until tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley and 1 teaspoon dried oregano.
Add the sautéed onion and garlic mixture to the mashed potatoes. Incorporate 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/3 cup ketchup, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Gently fold in 1.5 lbs ground beef until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 8x4-inch loaf pan or casserole dish.
Spread the remaining 1/3 cup ketchup evenly over the top of the loaf.
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 70-75 minutes, or until the center is no longer pink and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center registers 160°F (71°C).
Let the meatloaf rest, covered, for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
