Where to find ingredients
Potatoes, bacon, and parsley are available at local fresh produce markets or supermarkets. Requeijão and Catupiry-style cheese are specialized Brazilian dairy products; if unavailable, a thick cream cheese or a mild, spreadable processed cheese may be used as a substitute.
Preparation method
- Boil the unpeeled medium potatoes until they are tender yet still firm.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.
- Cut the cooked potatoes into thick slices without cutting all the way through, creating an accordion effect.
- Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
- Arrange the potatoes on the baking sheet.
- In a bowl, mix the requeijão, the creamy Catupiry-style cheese, and the bacon.
- Stuff the slices of each potato with the requeijão and bacon mixture.
- Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
- Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the filling is well heated and bubbling.
- Serve hot.
