Freeze the ground meat for about one hour.

Cut 50 grams of bacon into small cubes for 4 seconds on speed 8.

Add black pepper to the meat mixture.

Keep the temperature below 12°C while mixing the meat.

Check the temperature; it should be around 67°C before mixing further.

Mix the meat until it has a nice consistency.

Grease the loaf pan for protection against sticking.

Fill the loaf pan with the meat mixture, ensuring to minimize air pockets.

Smooth the surface of the meat mixture with a spatula.

Create a diamond pattern on the surface with a knife, using water to help if needed.

Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the meat for about one hour.

Meanwhile, prepare the northern German potato salad by boiling potatoes with salt and butter.

Add eggs to the boiling potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, then remove the eggs.

After boiling, drain the potatoes and let them cool.

Cut the eggs into small cubes and add them to the bowl with pickles.

Season the potato salad with salt, pepper, a pinch of sugar, and approximately 100-150 milliliters of pickle juice.

The potato salad tastes best when made a day in advance to allow flavors to meld.

After one hour, check the Leberkäs; it should have risen and look great.

Let the Leberkäs cool on a cutting board before slicing.
