One Pan Linguica and Potatoes with Eggs

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!

Double Cheese Linguica Burgers

My hubby loves linguica. It’s pretty hard to find down here where we live, but when he found some in the Boston area where he used to live, and the company ships it….well let’s just say we now have a mini freezer full of his scored bounty. What is linguica? I’m glad you asked. It’s a Portuguese sausage. It’s made from pork butt (which is actually a cut taken from the pig’s shoulder not the down under side) seasoned with paprika, garlic, pepper and cumin. It’s then brined, stuffed into casings then smoked. It has a mild, spicy flavor. It is quite good I can assure you.

For this burger I used ground linguica mixed with beef. This is definitely for a cheat day, but it’s oh so worth it. The double patties are so juicy and flavorful with the spices and hint of smokiness from the linguica. Then there is the cheese. All that gooey, cheesy goodness between those delicious patties and covers the top like a warm cheesy blanket.

I know in the picture above the burger looks to be on the rare side, but it’s the color of the linguica. So no stomach rolling there. If you happen to score some as well, you can not go wrong with this burger topped with cheese and all of your favorite burger condiments. Let your imagination go a little wild and savor this not so ordinary burger.

Here’s what you need:

*sturdy hamburger buns

*sliced cheese; I used white American

*Your favorite hamburger toppings

For The Burger:

*1 LB. ground linguica

*1 LB. ground beef

*1 TBS. Worcestershire sauce

*2 tsp. onion powder

*2 tsp. garlic powder

*1/2 tsp. salt

*cracked pepper

In a large bowl combine all of the ingredients for the burger

mix well.

Form into patties. These are going to be 2 patties per burger so form to desired thickness.

Heat a large cast iron skillet to medium high heat. Place the patties into the hot skillet.

It’s ok if you can’t fit all of the patties in the skillet at once. You can cook these in batches.

Cook for about 5 to 6 minutes then flip them over and cook for another 3 minutes.

Cover each patty with cheese.

Cover the skillet and cook until the cheese is melted.

Place one of the patties on the bottom half of the bun, then top with another. Top with your desired hamburger toppings and serve.

Enjoy!
