Answer 1

You can add butter, sour cream, crumbled bacon, and chives.
You can add garlic and parmesan cheese.
That's what I do..

Answer 2

Put the mashed potatoes on top of the meatloaf(when it's 10 min. from done) with a bit of butter and sprinkle paprika on them.

Place the pan back in the oven until the potatoes brown a little. Slice your meatloaf as you normally would.

Answer 3

Make regular mashed potato and add chives and garlic to them.

Make potato pancakes add a beaten egg to the potato, season well and fry in a bit of butter. Flipping once when browned.

Make cream of potato soup. Chop a bit of onion, celery and saute in saucepan till transparent. Add potato and stir together to heat. Slowly add milk to the consistency you like. Top with cheese or melt in to soup.
