Where to find ingredients
Find potatoes and parmesan in the fresh produce and dairy sections of local supermarkets. Requeijão, a specific Brazilian creamy cheese spread, can be found in the international or specialty dairy section of larger retailers.
Preparation method
- Boil the potatoes in water until tender and run them through a potato ricer while still hot.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the riced potatoes with the requeijão and a portion of the parmesan cheese until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Grease a baking dish with margarine and spread the potato mixture, finishing with a layer of the remaining parmesan cheese on top.
- Bake in a preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted and turned golden brown.
Observations
These baked mashed potatoes are a foolproof side dish for any occasion. The combination of requeijão and potato creates an irresistible texture, while the layer of parmesan forms a delicious golden crust once baked. Pro tip: make sure your potatoes are cooked through until tender so you can achieve a perfectly smooth, lump-free mash.
