Spring Meatloaf with Wild Garlic and Sweet Potato Mash

Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're looking at a savory springtime dish that brings together herb-infused ground meat, sautéed mushrooms, and creamy sweet potato mash—all packed with wild garlic flavor. The star of the show is the stuffed meatloaf, which requires some hands-on shaping but rewards you with an impressive presentation, while the mash comes together quickly in a stand mixer once everything's tender. With a 2-hour total time (mostly hands-off baking), this is a satisfying main course that celebrates seasonal ingredients.
