Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh potatoes, bacon, and parsley at local produce markets or butcher shops. Requeijão and catupiry are specific Brazilian dairy products; look for them in the international or specialty food section of well-stocked supermarkets, or use cream cheese and a high-quality processed cheese spread as suitable substitutes.
Preparation method

- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Slice the cooked potatoes into thick sections, without cutting all the way through, creating an accordion effect.
- Grease a baking tray with olive oil.
- Arrange the potatoes on the prepared baking tray.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the requeijão, the creamy catupiry, and the bacon.
- Stuff the sections of each potato with the requeijão and bacon mixture.
- Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
- Cover the baking tray with aluminum foil.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is thoroughly heated and bubbling.
