Method

1.Preheat oven to 190°C (170°C fan-forced). Grease and line a 5-cup. 19x9cm (base measurement) loaf pan with baking paper, extending it at long sides for handles. Cut lamb from bone, reserving bone to make stock. Chop lamb. Process lamb and onion until finely minced.

2.Transfer mince mixture to a large bowl; add egg, breadcrumbs, garlic and seasoning; mix well. Spoon mixture into prepared pan; smooth surface. Combine potato, kumara, bacon and rosemary in a medium bowl; press over top of loaf. Drizzle with oil; cover with foil. Bake for 20 minutes.

3.Remove foil; bake for 45-50 minutes or until firm and cooked. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a chopping board to slice. Serve with salad leaves.

Budget tip: Use leftover meatloaf as a sandwich filling. Process 1 slice white bread for crumbs.
