Where to find ingredients
Look for the potatoes, parsley, and olive oil at the fresh produce and pantry aisles, and buy the bacon and dairy spreads from the refrigerated section. If needed, a cream cheese-style substitute can be used for the creamiest filling.
Preparation method
- Cook the medium potatoes unpeeled until tender but still firm
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly
- Cut the cooked potatoes into thick slices, without separating them completely, like an accordion
- Grease a baking dish with olive oil
- Arrange the potatoes in the baking dish
- In a bowl, mix the requeijão, the creamy requeijão, and the bacon
- Fill the slices of each potato with the requeijão and bacon mixture
- Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top
- Cover the baking dish with aluminium 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
