Where to find ingredients
Potatoes and Parmesan cheese are widely available at most supermarkets in the produce and dairy sections, respectively. Creamy cheese spread, often referred to as cream cheese or Neufchâtel in many regions, can also be found in the dairy aisle of supermarkets. If you're looking for a specific Brazilian-style creamy cheese spread that's very thick and spreadable, check specialty Latin or Brazilian food stores, or the international foods section of larger supermarkets. For a substitute, a thick cream cheese mixed with a little heavy cream can achieve a similar consistency.
Preparation method
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and prick the entire surface several 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 grated Parmesan cheese
- Season the mixture with salt to taste
- Fill the cavities of the potatoes with the cream cheese and Parmesan mixture
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 15 minutes, or until the filling is lightly golden and bubbly
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately
