Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 2 cups cooked potatoes, diced
- 2 cups cooked corned beef, diced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 4 large eggs (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the skillet: Heat the butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium heat. This ensures the fat is hot enough for sautéing.
- Sauté vegetables: Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until they soften, releasing their flavors and becoming tender.
- Add potatoes: Stir in the diced cooked potatoes and spread them evenly in the skillet. Allow them to cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes so they can develop a crispy crust on one side.
- Combine corned beef and spices: Add the diced corned beef, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt to the skillet. Gently stir the mixture to combine the ingredients thoroughly.
- Cook the hash: Press the mixture down slightly with a spatula and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes until the hash is browned and heated through, enhancing texture and flavor.
- Cook eggs (optional): If adding eggs, make small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the eggs reach your preferred doneness.
- Garnish and serve: Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately for a delicious and satisfying breakfast.
Notes
- Utilize leftover corned beef and cooked potatoes to make this recipe convenient and reduce food waste.
- For extra crispiness, avoid stirring the potatoes too frequently while cooking to allow a crust to form.
- Serve with hot sauce or mustard on the side to add a flavorful kick.
