Method

1. Heat the oven to 200 °C. Stir the breadcrumbs and milk together in a bowl and leave to swell for a few minutes. Peel and finely chop or grate the onion.
2. Add the mince, egg, salt and pepper and work into an even mixture. Shape it into a loaf with wet hands in an ovenproof dish and dot the butter on top.
3. Bake the loaf in the middle of the oven for about 45 minutes, until cooked through (72 °C in the centre). Pour the water into the dish after 15 minutes and baste the loaf once or twice.
4. Peel the potatoes and put them on to boil in salted water.
5. Boil the potatoes until tender, about 20 minutes.
6. Move the loaf to a plate under foil. Strain the juices from the dish into a saucepan, add the cream, stock cube and soy sauce and bring to the boil. Thicken with the cornflour mixed into a little cold water and boil for 1–2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Slice the meatloaf and serve with the cream sauce, potatoes and lingonberry jam.
