Where to find ingredients
Potatoes and dairy products like margarine and parmesan are available at local supermarkets or vegetable markets. Requeijão can be found in the dairy or international foods aisle of most grocery stores.
Preparation method
- Boil the potatoes in water until soft, then process them through a potato ricer while still hot.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the requeijão and a portion of the parmesan cheese, stirring until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Grease a baking dish with margarine and arrange the potato mixture in layers, topping generously with the remaining parmesan.
- Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and developed a golden brown finish.
Observations
These oven-baked mashed potatoes are a quintessential comfort food side dish. The inclusion of requeijão adds an unmistakable creaminess to the potatoes, while the grated parmesan forms a savory, golden crust in the oven. For the perfect texture, ensure the potatoes are thoroughly cooked before mashing so the mixture remains smooth and lump-free.
