Wake up to the irresistible aroma of sizzling Corned Beef Hash—a classic comfort food perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a quick dinner. This one-skillet wonder combines crispy potatoes, tender corned beef, and golden onions for a hearty meal that’s easy to make and endlessly satisfying.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 cups cooked or canned corned beef, diced or shredded

  • 3 medium potatoes (Yukon Gold or russet), peeled and diced

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2–3 tablespoons olive oil or butter

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)

  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)

  • Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

  • Optional: ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or pepper jack)

  • Optional: diced bell peppers or jalapeños

Instructions

  • Boil or bake potatoes until just tender (about 10–15 minutes). Cool and dice into ½-inch cubes.

  • In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté chopped onion for 4–5 minutes until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

  • Push onions to one side of the skillet. Add remaining oil and diced potatoes in a single layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy.

  • Stir in diced or shredded corned beef. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne. Cook for 4–6 minutes until everything is heated through and slightly crispy.

  • Optional: Stir in shredded cheese and let melt. Add any extra veggies if using, and cook for another 2–3 minutes.

  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Serve hot with eggs, toast, or a fresh side salad.

Notes

  • Dry potatoes thoroughly before frying to avoid sogginess.

  • Leftover cooked potatoes and corned beef work best for texture and flavor.

  • This hash is excellent topped with a fried or poached egg.

  • Add a dash of Worcestershire sauce or hot sauce for extra punch.

  • Can be frozen and reheated in a skillet for best results.
