Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine beef, onion, breadcrumbs, milk, eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl, mix gently, and press into a 9×9 baking dish.
Bake uncovered for 15 minutes, remove excess fat and drain.
While the meatloaf is cooking, put the potatoes in a saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat with enough water. Let’s cook for 15 minutes.
