Taste of Oregon Frosted Meatloaf

Submitted by Elisabetta47

"This is a lovely dish both in flavor and look. It can be made relatively quickly using frozen and cooked mashed potatoes, but the real deal is with homemade. Come to think of it, it could be a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes."
