why make this recipe

This recipe is quick, uses simple pantry items, and makes a filling meal. It works well for breakfast, lunch, or a fast dinner. You can use canned corned beef or leftover cooked corned beef to save time.

how to make Corned Beef Hash

Prepare everything first: dice the potatoes small, chop the onion, and mince the garlic. Heat butter and oil in a large skillet. Cook the potatoes until golden and tender. Push potatoes to the side, then cook the onion and garlic until soft. Stir in the corned beef and cook a few minutes until heated and slightly crispy. Season with salt and pepper, mix well, and garnish with parsley if you like. Serve right away so it stays crispy.

Ingredients :

1 to 1½ cups corned beef (canned or leftover cooked, shredded or diced), 2 cups potatoes (Yukon Gold or red, diced into small cubes), 1 medium onion, finely chopped, 2 cloves garlic, minced, 2 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon cooking oil (vegetable or olive oil), Salt, to taste, Black pepper, to taste, Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions :

Dice the potatoes into small, even cubes to ensure they cook uniformly. Finely chop the onions, mince the garlic, and shred or dice the corned beef if it is not already prepared. Having all your ingredients ready will streamline the cooking process. Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook them while stirring occasionally until they turn golden brown and become tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. This step is crucial to developing a crispy, flavorful base for the hash. Push the cooked potatoes to one side of the skillet. Add a little more butter if necessary, then add the chopped onions and minced garlic. Cook these until they soften and caramelize, releasing sweet and savory aromas that enhance the flavor of the hash. Stir in the corned beef, breaking up any clumps with your spatula. Cook the mixture for about 5 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the beef to develop slight crispy edges for added texture. Sprinkle salt and black pepper to your preference, then mix all the ingredients thoroughly. If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately to enjoy the hash at its crispiest.

Cool the hash to room temperature before storing. Put it in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to keep some crispness, or microwave until hot.

tips to make Corned Beef Hash

  • Add diced bell pepper for color and sweetness.
  • Use sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes for a different flavor.
  • Stir in shredded cheese at the end for a cheesy hash.
  • Mix in frozen peas or corn for more veggies.
