Where to find ingredients

- In a mixing bowl, combine the riced potatoes with the requeijão and a portion of the parmesan cheese until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Grease a baking dish with margarine and spread the potato mixture evenly, topping it with the remaining parmesan cheese.
- Bake in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is thoroughly melted and golden brown.
