Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked corned beef, shredded or chopped
- 3 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Optional Toppings
- 4 large eggs (optional, for serving)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook the Potatoes: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden and crispy on the outside and tender inside. Once done, remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside.
- Sauté the Onions: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil or butter. Add the chopped onions and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are softened and lightly browned.
- Combine with Corned Beef: Add the shredded or chopped corned beef to the skillet with the sautéed onions. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, so the corned beef is heated through and mixed well with the onions.
- Add the Potatoes and Season: Return the cooked potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper over the mixture. Stir to combine all ingredients and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, letting the hash crisp up and allowing flavors to meld.
- Optional – Fry the Eggs: While the hash is finishing, heat a separate pan over medium heat. Cook the eggs to your preference—sunny side up or scrambled work best—to accompany the hash.
- Serve: Plate the corned beef hash, top each serving with a fried egg if desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately for a warm, satisfying meal.
Notes
- You can use leftover corned beef from a prior meal for convenience.
- For extra crispiness, use a cast iron skillet if available.
- Adjust seasoning according to your taste, especially the salt as corned beef can be salty.
- Serve with toast or your choice of breakfast sides for a complete meal.
- Vegetarian substitutions can be made by replacing corned beef with cooked mushrooms or plant-based meat alternatives.
