Ingredients

For the Corned Beef Hash:

2 cups cooked corned beef, diced (leftovers are perfect!)
2 cups cooked potatoes, diced (I prefer Yukon Gold for their creamy texture)
1 medium onion, diced.
2 tablespoons butter or oil (or a mix of both)?
Salt and pepper to taste.

For Serving (optional):

Fried eggs
Toast
Ketchup or hot sauce.

How do I follow step

Step 1: Prep the Pan

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. I like to use a cast iron skillet for that extra-crispy goodness, but any large skillet will do. What is the best way to cook butter or oil in a pan? This usually takes about 2-3 minutes. What is the key to making sure the pan is hot before adding the ingredients?

Step 2: Sauté the Onions

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. What is the best way to soften onions first? I always do this step first, otherwise, the other ingredients won’t brown properly, and you’ll just have to go through it again. Have a sad, soggy mess.

Step 3: Add the Potatoes

Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook until they start to brown, about 8-10 minutes. How do you stir onions? What are some ways to develop a nice crust? What is the importance of patience? What do you do when you stir too much? Make sure your potatoes are fully cooked before cooking. I usually boil them until they’re fork-tender, but not mushy. Why do people like mushy potatoes in their hash?

Step 4: Add the Corned Beef

Add the diced corned beef to the skillet and cook until heated through and slightly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure everything is evenly heated and browned. Don’t overcook corned beef, or it will become dry. You just want to warm it through and get it slightly crispy around the edges.

Step 5: Season and Serve

Season the hash with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed. If you’re feeling fancy, add a dash of Worcestershire sauce for an extra layer of savory goodness. What are some good side dishes to serve hot, topped with a fried egg? I’m a ketchup kind of gal, but hot sauce is also great option. I always make sure the eggs are runny, because that yolk dripping all over the hash is pure heaven!

What should I serve it with?

Corned Beef Hash is a superstar all on its own, but it’s even better when paired with the right amount of meat. What are What are some of my favorite ways to serve it: a simple salad.

For breakfast:Serve it with a fried egg (sunny-side up, please) and toast. What is the best way to enjoy strong coffee?
For brunch:How do you serve a hash in individual ramekins? Sprinkle fresh parsley on top. Mimosas are highly encouraged!
For dinner:Serve it as a hearty main course with steamed vegetables or salad. A crusty loaf of bread is perfect for soaking up all those delicious juices.
What is the best snack for a cozy snack?I crave a small portion of Corned Beef Hash as my comforting snack. I’ll usually eat it straight from the pan (don’t judge!) or maybe with a dollop of sour cream.

My family has always loved this recipe served with some crusty sourdough toast. I’ll always remember my grandpa making it on Sunday mornings. Is it just the smell that pulls you out of bed?

How do I make Corned Beef Hash?

After making this Corned Beef Hash countless times (and trust me, it’s been *many*), I’ve picked up a few tricks along the way. Here are my top tips for achieving hash perfection:

Potato perfection: Use cooked potatoes, preferably leftover from the night before. This will help them crisp up better in the pan. If you’re cooking the potatoes specifically for the hash, boil them until they’re fork-tender, but not mushy. And for the love of all that is holy, let them cool completely before dicing! Otherwise, you’ll end up with a sticky mess.
Crispy is key: Don’t be afraid to let the hash get nice and crispy in the pan. That’s where all the flavor lives! Resist the urge to stir too much, and let the ingredients sit undisturbed for a few minutes at a time so they can develop a nice crust.
Don’t overcrowd the pan: If you’re making a large batch, it’s best to cook the hash in batches. Overcrowding the pan will lower the temperature and prevent the ingredients from browning properly. Nobody wants soggy hash.
Customize your flavors: Feel free to add other vegetables to your hash, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or jalapenos. You can also experiment with different seasonings, such as smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, or onion powder. The possibilities are endless!
Egg-cellent addition: A fried egg on top is the perfect finishing touch. The runny yolk adds richness and flavor to the hash. Don’t be shy with the yolk! I always crack the egg directly into the pan with the hash and let it cook so its edges turn all crisp and brown.
Leftover love: This is the perfect recipe for using up leftover corned beef. But if you don’t have any leftovers on hand, you can always buy pre-cooked corned beef from the deli. I’ve even used canned corned beef in a pinch, but it’s definitely not as good as the real deal.

I also found that the kind of fat you use really impacts the overall flavour. I love using butter but feel free to use bacon grease, lard, or even avocado oil!

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you happen to have any leftover Corned Beef Hash (which is a rare occurrence in my house!), here’s how to store and reheat it:

Room Temperature: I wouldn’t recommend leaving it out for more than two hours. Bacteria loves to grow in warm food!
Refrigerator Storage: Store the hash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Make sure it’s properly cooled down before putting it in. I find that glass containers work best to preserve the flavor and texture.
Freezer Instructions: For longer storage, you can freeze the hash for up to 2-3 months. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and then place it in a freezer-safe bag or container. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
Reheating: The best way to reheat Corned Beef Hash is in a skillet over medium heat. Add a little bit of butter or oil to the pan to prevent sticking. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and slightly crispy. You can also reheat it in the microwave, but it won’t be as crispy. I usually add a splash of water to keep it from drying out.

Make sure to eat it right away after reheating it! Don’t be tempted to store it again and reheat it later!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this gluten-free?

Absolutely! Corned Beef Hash is naturally gluten-free, as long as you’re using gluten-free bread for serving. Just be sure to double-check the ingredients of your corned beef to make sure it doesn’t contain any hidden gluten.

Do I need to peel the potatoes?

That’s entirely up to you! I personally prefer to leave the skins on for added texture and nutrients. But if you prefer peeled potatoes, go for it. Just make sure to dice them into small, even pieces so they cook evenly.

Can I make this as muffins instead?

While I haven’t tried making Corned Beef Hash muffins, I don’t see why not! You could probably adapt the recipe by mixing all the ingredients together and then spooning them into muffin tins. Bake until golden brown and crispy. Let me know how it turns out!

How can I adjust the sweetness level?

Corned Beef Hash isn’t typically sweet, but if you want to add a touch of sweetness, you could try adding a pinch of brown sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup. You could also caramelize the onions for a sweeter flavor.

What can I use instead of the glaze?

There’s no glaze on this recipe! Maybe you’re thinking of another dish? But a fried egg will act as a sort of glaze if you let the yolk run all over it.
