Where to find ingredients
Potatoes and Parmesan cheese are widely available in the produce and dairy sections of most supermarkets. Creamy cheese spread, often referred to as cream cheese or queso crema, can be found in the dairy or specialty cheese aisles. For specific Brazilian-style creamy cheese spreads (similar to Catupiry), you might need to visit Latin or Brazilian specialty food stores, or the international foods section of larger supermarkets. These specialty stores also often carry a wider variety of cheeses and imported ingredients.
Preparation method
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and prick the entire surface a few times with a fork
- Place the potatoes in a covered container and microwave for about 20 minutes, or until tender
- Remove the potatoes from the microwave and carefully cut them in half lengthwise
- Using a spoon, scoop out some of the potato flesh from each half, creating a cavity for the filling
- In a bowl, mix the creamy cheese spread and the grated Parmesan cheese
- Season the mixture with salt to taste
- Fill the cavities of the potatoes with the creamy cheese and Parmesan mixture
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes, or until the filling is lightly golden and bubbly
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately
