Where to find ingredients
Find fresh produce in local supermarkets or municipal markets. For the requeijão (Catupiry style), look for imported Brazilian specialty food sections in larger supermarkets; as a substitute, high-quality cream cheese or spreadable processed cheese may be used, though they differ in texture and flavor profile.
Preparation method
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and prick the surface several times with a fork.
- Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe container with a lid and cook 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 part of the potato flesh from each half to create a hollow center for the filling.
- In a bowl, combine the creamy requeijão and grated parmesan cheese. Season with salt to taste.
- Fill the hollowed potatoes with the requeijão and parmesan mixture.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 15 minutes, or until the filling is lightly golden and gratinéed.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
