Where to find ingredients
Potatoes and Parmesan cheese are widely available in the produce and dairy sections of most supermarkets. The creamy cheese spread, often referred to as 'requeijão' in Brazil, can be found in specialty Latin or international food stores, or sometimes in the international aisle of larger supermarkets. If unavailable, a thick cream cheese or a soft cheese spread can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Wash the potatoes well and pierce 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
- 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 with salt to taste
- Fill the potato cavities with the creamy 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
