Poster's Notes:
I had planned to make meatloaf this afternoon, since it's going to be a hectic beginning of the week, I pulled out 2 pounds of meat and then saw a recipe in the Parade magazine for Old Fashioned Meatloaf for Two with Oven Baked Fries. Without reading it, I decided to make it. Needless to say, I didn't have half the ingredients, so I winged it. Added some cracker meal, steak sauce, a package of onion soup, a minced onion and a clove of garlic, water, and 2 eggs. Baked it for an hour, and it was done to perfection. I had a Girl Scout meeting from 4-6, so I showed the fries recipe to my husband, got out the ingredients for him, and left. Came home to the tastiest meal we've had in a while. Definitely a keeper. Hubby did say the smoke alarms went off 3 times, but the food was not burnt....

The skins on the potatoes were kind of tough, so I might peel them before doing this recipe again.
