Eggs in Purgatory

Submitted by buzzonesbirdie

"I know that there are other recipes on here with this name but none of them are like this. This is a easy goto for hubby and me when I dont feel like cooking. I often serve this with a type of sausage on the side(chicken apple, Kielbasa, Chorizo). I like this too becuase you can change the flavors a little."

Ready In:: 35mins
Ingredients:: 6
Serves:: 2-4

ingredients

5 large eggs
2 cups mashed potatoes (preferably leftovers as they need to be chilled)
¹⁄₃ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup marinara sauce, warmed (or any tomato sauce)
parmesan cheese
salt and pepper

directions

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
Stir 1 egg in a large bowl to blend. Mix in the potatoes and the flour. Using a generous 1/2 cup of potato mixture for each, form the potato mixture into pancakes (you should only get 4).
Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan. Fry the pancakes until they are golden brown, about 2 min per side. Place on paper towels to drain. Keep pancakes in oven to keep warm. Pour oil off pan.
Heat the pan. Cook eggs to taste, either with yolks runny or hard. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon sauce onto 4 plates (or double up on 2). Place a pancake atop the sauce. Top each pancake with a fried egg. Sprinkle with cheese and serve.

The flavors are great, I really didn't know what to expect with the potatoes, tomato sauce and eggs, but it turned out to be a great combination. I used left over Country crock mashed potatos which caused me to have to add more flour(they were creamier then homemade mashed potatos), but that was not a problem. Thanks for this great recipe!

Hello all I am a sahm to two beautful girls(5 and 6). Also sharing my home is my DH, our 3 dogs(boxer,pitt, and something else mixes all 3 of them) our cat Tinkerbell and 13 ferrets. I love to cook and try new things. I make my own cookbooks from recipes that i get off line. I love anything chocolate and am a big tea drinker(both iced and hot). I am a muncher but am trying to get better. I love to read and listen to almost all kinds of music, sorry not a big country fan. And i am a world traveler. Thanks to family all over the world. I would have to say that my fav chef is Giada De Laurentiis, i love her show and want all of her cookbooks (i have yet to buy one but i will). Other then that I love to collect kitchen gadets, unique necklaces and rings. Thats me in a nutshell. The only thing I drink is Amaretto Sours and my best friends know that I do not normally have any Disaronno in the house so its always a nice surprise when I get a bottle sent to me.
