Ingredients

• 2 Alheira sausage
• 2 Eggs
• 3 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 lb Potatoes
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 2 tbsp Parsley

Steps

1. Prick the alheiras and poach 5 minutes — this keeps the delicate skins from bursting in the pan.
2. Fry in olive oil over medium heat, turning gently, until golden all over, about 8 minutes.
3. Fry the eggs in the same flavorful oil until the edges lace and crisp.
4. Serve with home-fried potatoes, the eggs perched on top.
5. Cut into the alheira and let the yolk run into the crumbly, garlicky filling.
6. A Jewish-origin sausage turned Portuguese icon; history you can eat.
