Ingredients

Salt to taste
1/2 jar cream cheese (Brazilian style cream cheese spread)

Where to find ingredients
Potatoes and salt are readily available in the produce section of any supermarket. Grated Parmesan cheese can be found in the cheese aisle. For the cream cheese spread (often referred to as 'requeijão cremoso' in Brazil), look in Latin or international food sections of larger supermarkets, or specialty Latin or Brazilian markets. If you cannot find this specific type of spreadable cream cheese, a good substitute would be a thick, full-fat cream cheese mixed with a tablespoon of heavy cream to achieve a similar consistency.
Preparation method
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and poke holes all over the surface with a fork
- Place the potatoes in a lidded 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 cream cheese and grated Parmesan cheese
- Season 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
