Chef Tips

- Chop the calabresa sausage into very small cubes or pulse in a food processor to make layering easier. - Mash the boiled potatoes while still hot to ensure a lump-free puree before mixing in the milk and butter. - Let the escondidinho rest for 10 minutes after removing from the oven so the slices come out firm and intact.

Variations

- Spread 3 tablespoons of creamy requeijão over the sausage layer before covering with the second half of the mashed potatoes. - Add 1 chopped ripe tomato and chopped black olives to the sausage sauté to enrich the sauce. - Add a pinch of dried oregano and smoked paprika over the grated cheese before putting it in the oven.

Substitutions

- The smoked calabresa sausage can be replaced by fresh Tuscan sausage without the skin, well sautéed. - Traditional mashed potatoes can be replaced by mashed cassava or mashed sweet potatoes. - The grated topping cheese can be finely grated mozzarella, Parmesan, or mozzarella cheese.

How to Store

Store leftovers in the original baking dish covered with aluminum foil or plastic wrap in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15 minutes or in individual portions in the microwave for 2 to 3 minutes.

Can You Freeze It?

It can be frozen assembled before or after baking for up to 60 days in the freezer in a sealed container. To bake frozen, take it straight to the preheated oven at 180°C for about 45 minutes until the interior is heated and the cheese is gratinated.

What to Serve With

Pairs perfectly with fluffy white rice, green leaf salad with olive oil and vinegar, and crispy potato sticks. To drink, pair with an amber ale craft beer or natural red berry juice.
