Where to find ingredients
You can find potatoes and fresh produce in local markets or grocery store produce aisles. Requeijão and Catupiry are specialized Brazilian dairy items; look for them in the international or specialty cheese section of major supermarkets. Bacon and fresh parsley are widely available in the meat and fresh herb departments of any local grocery store.
Preparation method
- Boil the unpeeled medium potatoes until they are tender yet still firm.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool down slightly.
- Slice the cooked potatoes into thick sections, without cutting all the way through, creating an accordion effect.
- Grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- Arrange the potatoes in the prepared baking dish.
- In a bowl, mix the requeijão, the creamy Catupiry-style cheese, and the bacon.
- Fill the slices of each potato with the cheese and bacon mixture.
- Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is thoroughly heated and bubbling.
- Serve hot.
