          Step-by-Step Instructions<\/h2>\n

          Step 1: Prepare the Meatloaf<\/h3>\n

          In a large mixing bowl, add the ground meat, grated onion, garlic, egg, milk, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, paprika, ginger, parsley, and mustard.<\/p>\n

          Mix gently using your hands or a spoon until everything is just combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the meatloaf dense and dry.<\/p>\n

          Shape the mixture into a loaf.<\/p>\n

          Step 2: Prepare the Glaze<\/h3>\n

          In a small bowl, mix together the ketchup, mustard, sugar, and soy sauce (or vinegar).
          \nSpread the glaze generously over the top of the meatloaf. This glaze adds moisture, flavor, and a beautiful caramelized finish.<\/p>\n

          Step 3: Season the Potatoes<\/h3>\n

          Place the potato wedges in a bowl. Add olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and herbs. Toss well until the potatoes are evenly coated.<\/p>\n

          Step 4: Bake Everything Together<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
          • Place the meatloaf in the center of a large baking dish.<\/li>\n
          • Arrange the seasoned potatoes around the meatloaf.<\/li>\n
          • Cover loosely with aluminum foil.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Bake for 40 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

            After 40 minutes, remove the foil and return the dish to the oven. Bake uncovered for another 15\u201320 minutes<\/strong>, or until:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • The meatloaf is fully cooked<\/li>\n
            • The top is slightly caramelized<\/li>\n
            • The potatoes are golden and tender<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Cooking Tips for Best Results<\/h2>\n
                \n
              • For extra juicy meatloaf, add 1 extra tablespoon of milk or olive oil.<\/li>\n
              • If the potatoes are large, cut them evenly so they cook at the same time.<\/li>\n
              • You can add carrots, zucchini, or bell peppers to the pan for more vegetables.<\/li>\n
              • Let the meatloaf rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it moist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                Variations<\/h2>\n
                  \n
                • Healthy Version:<\/strong> Use ground turkey or chicken and low-sodium ketchup.<\/li>\n
                • Spicy Version:<\/strong> Add chili flakes or hot sauce to the glaze.<\/li>\n
                • Cheesy Meatloaf:<\/strong> Add shredded cheese inside the meat mixture.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
