Where to find ingredients
You can find standard potatoes at any local market or grocery store across Uganda. Catupiry, a specific Brazilian-style spreadable cream cheese, is not a local product; check the international aisles of high-end supermarkets in Kampala (like Capital Shoppers or Carrefour) or browse specialized deli shops. If unavailable, use the highest quality, thick spreadable cream cheese you can find, ensuring it has a smooth, rich consistency to mimic the original. Parmesan is widely available in the cheese section of major supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Scrub the potatoes thoroughly and prick the skins all over with a fork
- Place the potatoes in a microwave-safe container with a lid and zap for about 20 minutes, or until they feel fork-tender
- Carefully remove the potatoes from the microwave and slice them in half lengthwise
- Using a spoon, gently scoop out part of the flesh to create a nice hollow cavity for the filling
- In a small bowl, mix the Catupiry and grated parmesan together, seasoning with a little salt to your liking
- Spoon the cheesy mixture into the hollowed-out potato shells
- Pop them into a preheated oven at 180°C for about 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly
- Take them out of the oven and enjoy while hot
