Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh potatoes, bacon, and parsley at local markets or supermarkets like New World or Shop N Save. Requeijão and Catupiry are specific Brazilian dairy products; look for them in the international or Latin specialty section of larger supermarkets. If unavailable, a high-quality cream cheese or a soft, spreadable processed cheese can serve as a suitable substitute.
Preparation method
- Boil the medium potatoes in their skins until tender but still firm.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool down slightly.
- Slice the cooked potatoes into thick cuts, without cutting all the way through, accordion-style.
- Grease a baking tray with olive oil.
- Arrange the potatoes on the baking tray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the requeijão, creamy requeijão, and bacon.
- Stuff the slices of each potato with the requeijão and bacon mixture.
- Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
- Cover the baking tray with aluminum foil.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is thoroughly heated and bubbling.
- Serve hot.
