Where to find ingredients
For the requeijão and Catupiry, visit a Latin American grocery store or a specialty food market that stocks Brazilian imports. If unavailable, you can substitute requeijão with a high-quality cream cheese mixed with a splash of heavy cream for the right texture, and look for a mild, creamy processed cheese to replicate the Catupiry style. Bacon and fresh parsley are widely available at any local supermarket. Use a standard waxy or all-purpose potato, found in the produce aisle of any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Boil the medium potatoes in their skins until tender but still firm
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly
- Slice the cooked potatoes into thick rounds, keeping the base intact to create a fan or accordion shape
- Grease a baking tray with olive oil
- Arrange the potatoes on the baking tray
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, sour cream, and bacon
- Stuff the potato slices with the bacon and cream cheese mixture
- Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top
- Cover the baking tray with aluminum foil
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is heated through and bubbling
- Serve hot
