Where to find ingredients
Potatoes and salt are widely available in the produce and pantry sections of any supermarket. Grated parmesan cheese is also commonly found in the dairy or cheese aisle. The creamy cheese spread, often referred to as 'Catupiry-style' or simply 'creamy cheese spread' in Latin or specialty markets, is usually found in the refrigerated section alongside other dairy products like cream cheese or sour cream. If a specific Brazilian creamy cheese spread is unavailable, a good quality cream cheese or a thick sour cream can be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Wash the potatoes well 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
- 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 cavities of the potatoes 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
