Corned beef hash is a classic Irish dish made with flavorful corned beef, diced potatoes, onions, and spices. It can be made with fresh, frozen, canned or leftover corned beef.

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 2 cups finely chopped, cooked corned beef
• 2 cups chopped potatoes, preferably Yukon gold
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped parsley to taste
• 1/4 cup cream and 2 eggs (if using the cream and egg method)

Steps

Simmer hash

1. Prepare the potatoes. Peel and dice a few potatoes so that you have about 2 cups. Place the raw potato pieces into a large skillet.
2. Get the corned beef ready. Finely chop corned beef, either fresh, leftover or canned, into bite-sized pieces. Place the pieces in the skillet with the potatoes.
3. Add the onion. Dice and onion and stir it in with the potatoes and beef.
   • If you are using leftover corned beef with cabbage, you can throw in some of the cabbage too. This adds a more savory flavor to your corned beef hash recipe.
   • Add some minced garlic for more depth of flavor.
4. Add the beef broth. Pour it over the meat and vegetable mixture.
5. Cover the skillet and bring the ingredients to a simmer. Cook them over medium heat until most of the liquid is absorbed.
6. Season the hash. Add Salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped parsley.

Crispy hash

1. Melt butter in a skillet. Place the butter in a large skillet, preferably cast iron, and melt it over medium heat.
2. Add the potatoes. Spread them evenly over the bottom of the skillet and cook them in the butter until they become soft.
3. Add the onions and meat. Mix them in with the potatoes and spread them over the the bottom of the skillet. Press down with the spatula so that the mixture forms a solid hash.
4. Brown the hash. Cook it on one side until it becomes brown and crispy.
5. Flip the hash. Turn it over, section by section, and press each section down with the spatula. Cook the hash on the other side until it's brown.
6. Season the hash. Add Salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with chopped parsley.

Cream and egg hash

1. Boil the potatoes. Place the peeled, diced raw potatoes in a large pot of salted water and boil for about 3 minutes.
2. Drain the potatoes and set them aside.
3. Chop the beef and onion. Use a sharp knife to chop the corned beef and onion into small pieces.
4. Sauté the onions in butter. Place the butter in a skillet and heat until it's melted, then place the raw onions in the butter. Sauté the onions until they're soft.
5. Add the potatoes and Sauté the mixture for 5 minutes. Stir occasionally, and keep cooking until the onions and potatoes are soft and lightly browned.
6. Mix in the corned beef and salt and pepper to taste.
7. Add the cream. Pour in 1/4 cup of heavy cream and stir, cooking for 1 minute.
8. Add the eggs. Make 4 holes into the corned beef hash and break 1 egg into each hole. Cover and cook on medium heat until eggs are done to your preference.
9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
