Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Start by peeling and chopping the potatoes into even-sized pieces. Place them in a pot of salted boiling water and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until fork-tender. Once cooked, drain the water and mash the potatoes until creamy.
  2. In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent. Stir in minced garlic, chopped celery, and spices, cooking for another 3-5 minutes.
  3. Combine the sautéed vegetable mixture with the prepared mashed potatoes in a large bowl. Add oats, chopped walnuts, and seasonings. Mix thoroughly.
  4. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and pack the meatloaf mixture firmly into the pan, smoothing the top.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow cooling for 15 minutes before slicing.
