My Grandma used to make her meatloaf with shredded potatoes instead of bread or crackers. Does anyone else do this? I can't remember if you slightly cook the potatoes or if you shred them raw and then put them in....help!

I never heard of it, but I'll bet it was awesome.
I am going to try it with fresh grated potatoes and the shredded carrots, and maybe put a slice or two of cheese in the center of it(make sure cheese is covered entirely with meat) I have also put a couple hard-boiled eggs in the center of it. I like to put surprises in the center. Maybe strips of bacon.

I don't. But, I would probably slightly cook the potatoes for the meatloaf.

I have made that recipe myself. Instead of slightly cooking the spuds I use instant. Betty Crocker or the Garlic or butter flavor. It turns out great. Add onion and u can even grate carrots to add a dash of color and taste. Yum Yum

Are you sure she didn't use instant? That would be the equivalent to dry bread crumbs or crackers.
