Ingredients
2 cups requeijão
1/2 kg potatoes
300g grated Parmesan cheese
Margarine for greasing
1/2 kg potatoes
300g grated Parmesan cheese
Margarine for greasing
Where to find ingredients
Potatoes and margarine can be found in the produce and dairy aisles of local Marshallese markets or wholesale supermarkets. Requeijão (a creamy Brazilian spreadable cheese) and authentic Parmesan may be sourced from specialty international grocers or importers.
Preparation method
- Boil the potatoes in water until tender, then press them through a potato ricer while still hot.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes with the requeijão and a portion of the Parmesan cheese until the mixture is uniform.
- Grease a baking dish with margarine and assemble the dish, layering the potato mixture and topping it with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Place in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese has melted completely and turned golden brown.
Observations
This potato gratin is the ultimate crowd-pleasing side dish. The addition of requeijão to the potatoes creates an incredibly velvety texture, while a generous layer of Parmesan forms a delicious golden crust in the oven. For the best result, ensure the potatoes are thoroughly cooked before mashing to achieve a perfectly smooth consistency.
