Set your oven to 325 Degrees F. and prep your meatloaf as you normally would. For mine: 1 lbs. ground turkey, 1 egg, bread crumbs (to make it more formed and you can sub crackers), yummy spices.

Grease your muffin tin and tightly pack the mixed meat.

Place the tin in your pre-heated oven (325 degrees F.) for 25-35 minutes. That's me there getting an inferno blast in the face!

Now for the potatoes. While I love fresh, homemade potatoes; I find that instant potatoes satisfy my starch needs RIGHT AWAY! To help spruce them up though, I save the butter/garlic sauce from a certain pizza joint and use that as a kicky flavor.

Make sure you check your meat cakes. I rely on my trusty meat thermometer since this was my first go-around and my oven is tempremental.

Once the patatoes are done put them into a ziploc bag and snip the corner. This serves as a pastry bag would for frosting.

Pipe the "frosting" (potatoes) on to the fully cooked meat "cakes." Pile 'em high!
