Instructions

Parboil the Potatoes:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the peeled, diced potatoes. Cook for 5-10 minutes, or until fork-tender, but not mushy. Drain the potatoes and set aside.
Shred the Corned Beef:
While the potatoes are cooking, place ½ lb of corned beef in a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse several times until the beef is finely chopped. Alternatively, cut the corned beef into small pieces or shred it by hand.
Cook the Onion:
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until softened.
Add the Corned Beef and Potatoes:
Add the chopped corned beef and cooked potatoes to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes.
Stir in the Ketchup and Seasonings:
Add 3 tablespoons of ketchup, ½ teaspoon kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Flip the Hash and Cook Until Crispy:
Using a thin metal spatula, carefully flip the hash. If it breaks up, that’s okay! Just use the spatula to gently press it down. Cook for another 5 minutes to crisp it up on both sides.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately with poached eggs on top.

Notes

Add cheese: If you like cheese with your corned beef hash, sprinkle some shredded cheddar or Swiss on top before serving.
Change up the protein: You can use ground turkey or chicken instead of corned beef for a leaner version.
Add more veggies: Try adding bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for added texture and flavor.
