Where to find ingredients
For this recipe, you will need to source a few specific Brazilian ingredients. 'Requeijão' and 'Catupiry' are best found at Latin American grocery stores or dedicated Brazilian import shops; if unavailable, you can substitute requeijão with a high-quality cream cheese or a mix of heavy cream and ricotta, though the texture will differ. Bacon and fresh herbs like parsley are standard items found in any local supermarket or neighborhood greengrocer. Look for the cheese and specialty products in the refrigerated 'imported' or 'international' sections of larger supermarkets.
Preparation method
- Boil the medium potatoes unpeeled until tender but still firm
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool down slightly
- Slice the cooked potatoes into thick rounds without cutting all the way through, accordion style
- Grease a baking tray with olive oil
- Arrange the potatoes on the baking tray
- In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, the processed cheese spread and the bacon
- Stuff the slices of each potato with the cream cheese and bacon mixture
- Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top
- Cover the baking tray with aluminium foil
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is well heated and bubbling
- Serve warm
