Where to find ingredients
You can find potatoes and margarine at any local market or grocery store. Requeijão (a creamy processed cheese) and grated parmesan can typically be sourced from the dairy aisle of larger supermarkets or specialty deli shops.
Preparation method
- Boil the potatoes in water until tender, then mash them while still hot.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the requeijão and a portion of the parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Grease a baking dish with margarine and spread the potato mixture, finishing with a layer of the remaining parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and developed a golden, bubbly crust.
Observations
These oven-baked mashed potatoes are a fail-safe side dish that brings pure comfort to the table. The addition of requeijão ensures an irresistible, velvety texture, while a generous topping of parmesan forms a delicious, golden-brown crust in the oven. Pro tip: make sure your potatoes are cooked through until tender so you can achieve a perfectly smooth, lump-free mash.
