Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh potatoes, bacon, and parsley at any local supermarket or fresh produce market. For the Brazilian staples, requeijão and Catupiry, check the international or specialty aisles in larger grocery stores; if unavailable, a thick cream cheese or a mild, spreadable processed cheese can be used as a substitute, though they will differ from the original authentic flavour.
Preparation method
- Boil the unpeeled medium potatoes until they are tender yet still firm.
- Drain the potatoes and let them cool down slightly.
- Cut the cooked potatoes into thick slices, without cutting all the way through, creating an accordion effect.
- Grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- Arrange the potatoes in the prepared baking dish.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the requeijão, creamy Catupiry, and bacon.
- Stuff the slices of each potato with the requeijão and bacon mixture.
- Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminium foil.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is thoroughly heated through and bubbling.
- Serve hot.
