Where to find ingredients
You can find these ingredients at local grocery stores or butchers. Look for bacon in the meat aisle and fresh herbs in the produce section. Requeijão and Catupiry are specific Brazilian dairy products; if unavailable locally, cream cheese can serve as a substitute for the texture, though the authentic flavor profile will differ.
Preparation method
- Boil the unpeeled medium potatoes until tender but still firm.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Slice the cooked potatoes into thick cuts without separating them completely, accordion-style.
- Grease a baking tray with olive oil.
- Arrange the potatoes on the baking tray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the requeijão, the Catupiry-style creamy requeijão, and the bacon.
- Stuff the slices of each potato with the requeijão and bacon mixture.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
- Cover the baking tray with aluminum foil.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is well heated and bubbling.
- Serve hot.
