Corned beef hash is a classic breakfast dish that combines crispy potatoes, savory corned beef, and aromatic seasonings into a deliciously satisfying meal. Whether you’re using leftover corned beef from a holiday meal or cooking it from scratch, this dish is a fantastic way to start the day with bold flavors and a comforting texture.



Ingredients:

2 cups cooked corned beef, diced or shredded

2 cups diced potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)

1/2 cup diced onion

1/2 cup diced bell pepper (red or green)

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter or oil

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Salt and black pepper to taste

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

2 eggs (optional, for serving)


Instructions:

  1. Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter or oil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to turn golden brown.

  2. Sauté the Vegetables: Add the diced onions, bell peppers, and garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 3–4 minutes until the onions are soft and translucent.

  3. Add the Corned Beef: Stir in the diced or shredded corned beef. Press the mixture down into the skillet with a spatula and let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes to allow the bottom to crisp up.

  4. Season and Flip: Sprinkle with smoked paprika (if using), salt, and black pepper. Flip the mixture occasionally to evenly brown all sides, cooking for about 5 more minutes.

  5. Cook the Eggs (Optional): If serving with eggs, cook them separately to your preference (fried, poached, or scrambled) while the hash finishes crisping up.

  6. Serve and Garnish: Once the hash is crispy and golden, remove from heat. Garnish with fresh parsley and top with eggs if desired.


Tips for the Best Corned Beef Hash:

Use pre-cooked corned beef for convenience, or make your own from scratch.

For extra crispiness, press the hash down in the skillet and let it brown before flipping.

Add extra flavor with hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, or a sprinkle of cheese.

Make it ahead by prepping the ingredients the night before for a quick morning meal.
