Where to find ingredients
Requeijão and creamy requeijão (catupiry-style) are commonly found in the dairy or international sections of larger supermarkets, or in dedicated Latin American or Brazilian food stores. If unavailable, a good substitute is cream cheese mixed with a little heavy cream and a pinch of salt to achieve a similar consistency and flavor. Bacon is available in the meat section of any supermarket. Fresh parsley is widely available in the produce section of supermarkets and local markets.
Preparation method
- Cook the medium potatoes unpeeled until tender but still firm
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly
- Cut the cooked potatoes into thick slices, without separating them completely, like an accordion
- Grease a baking dish with olive oil
- Arrange the potatoes in the baking dish
- In a bowl, mix the requeijão, the creamy requeijão, and the bacon
- Stuff the slices of each potato with the requeijão and bacon mixture
- Sprinkle chopped parsley on top
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and bubbling
- Serve hot
