Where to find ingredients
Potatoes and parmesan cheese can be found in any local grocery store. For the Catupiry-style requeijão, look for Brazilian or Latin American specialty markets. A common substitute for the creamy consistency of Catupiry is a mixture of cream cheese and heavy cream, though the flavor profile will differ from the original.
Preparation method
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and prick them all over with a fork.
- Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe container with a lid and cook for about 20 minutes, or until they are soft.
- Carefully remove the potatoes from the microwave and cut them in half.
- Using a spoon, scoop out part of the pulp from each half to create a hollow space for the filling.
- In a bowl, mix the creamy requeijão and the grated parmesan cheese. Season with salt to taste.
- Fill the hollowed-out potato halves with the requeijão and parmesan mixture.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 15 minutes, or until the filling is lightly golden and bubbling.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
