Meat Loaf with Sweet Potatoes

3 large sweet potatoes
Boiling water
1 tablespoon oil
1 pound lean ground beef
1 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped celery
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons catsup
1 egg
1 clove garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt

Cut 2 unpeeled sweet potatoes in chunks. Peel remaining sweet
potatoes;
trim to 5-inch length by 1 1/2-inch diameter. Parboil all 10 minutes
in
boiling water to cover; drain; set whole potatoes aside. Toss chunks
in
oil; set aside.

In medium bowl mix remaining ingredients, until well blended. Turn out
onto
waxed paper; form meat mixture into 8x6-inch rectangle. Place whole
potatoes across center; roll up from narrow end. Press ends and seam
to
seal. Place in shallow baking pan. Arrange cut potatoes around meat.

Bake in preheated 400-degree oven 30 to 35 minutes, turning potatoes
occasionally until meat is browned and potatoes are tender.

Makes 4 servings.
