Ingredients
For the Corned Beef Hash:
1 large Russet potato, peeled and cut into ½-inch dice
½ lb (454g) corned beef, about 1½ cups
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small sweet onion, finely diced, about ½ cup
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons ketchup
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
For Serving:
Poached eggs (1-2 per person)
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.
