Where to find ingredients
Potatoes are readily available in the produce section of most supermarkets. Cream cheese, often referred to by its brand name in Brazil as 'requeijão cremoso' or specifically 'Catupiry,' can be found in the dairy aisle of supermarkets. Look for a spreadable, creamy cheese. If you cannot find a Brazilian-style creamy cheese, a good quality full-fat cream cheese or even a thick sour cream mixed with a little grated Parmesan can be used as a substitute. Grated Parmesan cheese is available in the cheese section of most supermarkets, often pre-grated or as a block to grate yourself. Salt is a common pantry staple.
Preparation method
- Wash the potatoes thoroughly and prick the entire surface several times with a fork
- Place the potatoes in a lidded container and microwave for about 20 minutes, or until tender
- Remove the potatoes from the microwave and carefully cut them in half
- Using a spoon, scoop out some of the potato flesh from each half, creating a cavity for the filling
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese and grated Parmesan cheese
- Season with salt to taste
- Fill the cavities of the potatoes with the cream cheese and Parmesan mixture
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 15 minutes, or until the filling is lightly golden and bubbly
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately
