A hearty and comforting breakfast hash featuring tender corned beef and crispy golden potatoes, perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces (340 grams) corned beef, diced or shredded
  • 3 medium russet potatoes (about 1 pound/450 grams), peeled and diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or sunflower)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • Pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Place in a pot of cold salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for 5-7 minutes until just tender but not falling apart. Drain well and let air dry for a few minutes.
  2. Heat butter and vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the drained potatoes to the skillet in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a golden crust. Toss or flip gently and cook another 4-5 minutes until all sides are crispy and golden brown. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Stir in the diced or shredded corned beef. Cook together for 3-4 minutes, letting the beef warm through and develop crispy edges. Adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, and optional smoked paprika or cayenne.
  5. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the hash, give a gentle stir, and remove from heat.

Notes

Parboil potatoes to ensure crispiness. Use medium heat to avoid burning. Do not overcrowd the pan when frying potatoes. Reheat leftovers in a skillet to maintain crispiness. Optional spices like smoked paprika or cayenne add smoky heat.
