It’s a new year and a new dish. Hubby and I recently received a stash of linguica (a type of Portuguese sausage). The last time we had linguica (ground linguica to be exact) we mixed it with ground beef and had some really delicious Double Cheese Linguica Burgers. Those I must say, were epic. We can’t seem find linguica where we live….believe me hubby tried very hard because he loves it…so we have to have it shipped. So for this batch, I really wanted to come up with something hearty and easy. What better way to enjoy this tasty sausage by mixing it with potatoes and topping it with eggs. This was definitely a hit for sure. The potatoes are tossed with butter, olive oil and some spices, then mixed with the unique flavors of the linguica. It’s all topped with a few sunny side up eggs. What’s even better, is that it’s all cooked in one pan so clean up is easy.
So grab a few eggs, chop up some potatoes and here’s how to make it:
*3 large potatoes; peeled and cut into bite size pieces
*1 pound of linguica; casings removed (if they have casings) and chopped into bite size pieces
*1 tsp. sweet paprika
*2 tsp. onion powder
*1 1/2 tsp. dried Thyme
*salt and pepper to taste + more for the eggs
*1 TBS butter; melted
*olive oil
*4 eggs
Pre heat oven to 425°
In the pan, toss the potatoes with paprika, onion powder, Thyme, salt, pepper, butter and olive oil.
Add in the linguica and mix together with the potatoes.
Bake for 15 minutes and stir. If the potatoes look like they are drying out, add more olive oil. Bake for another 10 minutes or until the potatoes are soft on the inside and turning golden brown on the outside.
Lower the oven to 400°
Make a well in the potatoes and linguica. Crack the eggs into the wells.
Salt and pepper the eggs and continue baking for another 10 minutes are until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny.
If you prefer a less runny egg, cook longer.
Serve and Enjoy!
