PREPARATION:

Mashed Potatoes with Cheese (Baked Potatoes) (do this step before you start the pre-prep):

1. Peel the potatoes and cut them into thick slices. This step is optional, as the potatoes can also be cooked whole, in their skins and then squeezed.
2. In the pan with still cold water, put the salt, add the potatoes and cook until soft (about 20 minutes). This step can be done in the microwave, piercing the skin of the potatoes and cooking them for about 10 minutes, possibly increasing the time.
3. Continue pre-preparation.

Minced meat filling for Escondidinho:

1. In another skillet, over medium-high heat, saute the onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes in the olive oil until the onion is translucent.
2. Add the cambuci pepper (optional) and brown.
3. Add the ground beef and continue cooking until the liquid that has formed in the pan is reduced.
4. Drizzle with the wine and keep over high heat until all the alcohol has evaporated.
5. Add the tomato cubes with the juice.
6. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Lower the heat and cook for about 10 minutes to blend the flavours, leaving the stew moist, but without broth.
8. Reserve.

Mashed potatoes with cheese:

1. When the potatoes are cooked and soft, drain them.
2. While still hot, pass the potatoes through a juicer or through a fine sieve.
3. Put it back in the pan, add the butter, beating with a wire whisk until you get a lump-free puree.
4. Bring the puree to the boil and add the milk, stirring constantly.
5. Add the mozzarella and, stirring constantly, cook until the cheese melts (use a wire whisk if you prefer) and the puree detaches from the pan.
6. If necessary, add a little more milk to make it creamy.
7. Rectify the salt and reserve in the pan itself.
