Ingredients
- 3/4 lb. baking potatoes
- 1 1/2 lbs. bulk pork sausage
- 3 eggs, well beaten
- 1 8 oz. can tomatoes
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
- 1/4 tsp. fresh black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. Tabasco
- 1 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup minced onion, optional
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Pierce the potatoes with a heavy fork; bake on an oven rack for 1 hour, until tender. Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise and cool until easy to handle. Scoop pulp, about 1 1/2 cups, into a large bowl; mash with a fork.
- Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees. Remove sausage from refrigerator; set aside. Add eggs to cooled mashed potatoes; stir until blended. Add half the tomato sauce, the mustard, pepper and Tabasco, bread crumbs, and onion; mix well.
- Add sausage meat to the bowl; knead until all ingredients are completely blended. On a lightly greased sheet pan, form the meat mixture into a loaf, about 10 × 4 × 2 1/2 inches.
- Bake for 1 hour, 10 minutes. Remove from oven; spread with remaining tomato sauce. Return to the oven; bake 15 minutes longer. Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing.
