Baked potatoes cook at a higher temperature than the meatloaf does, so if you cook them together, you need to cook the potatoes longer. I put the oven up to 450&degF; to start the potatoes, prepare the meatloaf, then lower the temp back down to 350 before putting the meatloaf in. If the potatoes aren’t too large, they’ll all be done at the same time.
