    The BEST Corned Beef Hash

    This time of year, corned beef is everything. This salty, perfectly tender meat is so delicious and you don’t want any to go to waste! If you have any leftover corned beef, a hash is the best way to use it all up. Plus, this recipe is so easy to make!

    If you don’t know what a hash is, it is basically just a mixture of crispy potatoes and some sort of meat which you usually would eat for breakfast. You can top it off with eggs cooked in any form that you like! I prefer a fried egg or poached egg so that the yolk is kind of runny. If you hate runny yolk, eat it with scrambled or a hard fried egg!

    Kelley’s Tips for Success

    • Like it spicy? Add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper along with the salt and pepper! Or, serve it with your favorite hot sauce for some spicy flavors.
    • Dice up potatoes to uniform size! Make sure your potato bites are all about the same size so they are all done cooking at the same time!
    • Add some veg! You can really make this hash anything you want. You can add some vegetables to lift the flavors and add nutrients. Try adding broccoli, bell peppers or carrots!
    • Don’t be tempted to stir the hash. You want the potatoes and beef to have time to really crisp up in the pan, so don’t be tempted to stir! Let each piece have contact with the pan and then flip the pieces to the other side.
    • If you don’t have corned beef, you can also use a different meat like pastrami or roast beef.

    Corned Beef Hash Ingredients

    My corned beef hash recipe uses minimal ingredients that are pretty easy to find! Here’s what you’ll need:

    • Butter & Olive Oil: Start with some butter and olive oil to coat the pan. I always love to use a combination of butter and oil when frying. Butter gives the dish a nice flavor and oil has a higher smoke point so it keeps the butter from burning. The combination will ensure crispy results!
    • Onion & Garlic: I like onion and garlic in any hash, to start building up some flavor.
    • Corned Beef: You will need some cooked corned beef for this recipe. You might have some leftover, or you can buy cooked corned beef! I bought some fully cooked corned beef from Trader Joes last year and it was amazing!
    • Eggs: For serving, fry up some eggs to your liking!

    What you’ll need to make Breakfast Potatoes

    • Russet Potatoes: Are best for oven roasting! They stay soft and fluffy on the inside and get golden brown and crispy on the outside!
    • Baking Soda: Gets added to the boiling water and helps to crisp up the potatoes.
    • Spices: Garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt and pepper.

    How to Make the Crispiest Breakfast Potatoes

    • Start by cutting about 3 pounds of peeled russet potatoes into small bite size cubes.

    1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Transfer oven rack to the bottom of the oven. Grease a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray, set aside.
    2. Bring 10 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Once the water is boiling add in baking soda and potatoes. Once the water is back up to a boil cook for 1 minute.

    1. Drain the potatoes and add them back to the pan along with the butter, olive oil, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper and paprika.
    2. Toss to coat the potatoes in the butter and spices. The potatoes may get a little smushed that’s ok! That helps to get the crispy edges we want when they get baked!
    3. Pour potatoes onto prepared pan and spread into an even layer.

    1. Bake for 15 minutes on the bottom oven rack. Stir and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until perfectly crisp and golden brown.
    2. Serve immediately with your favorite breakfast items and enjoy!

    How to Make Corned Beef Hash

    • Sauté Onion & Garlic: First, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add in onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute.

    1. Add the Potatoes & Corned Beef: Add in the cooked potatoes and corned beef. Using the back of a wooden spoon or spatula, smush dosn the potatoes and corned beef into one even layer. Allow it to cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes. If you stir too much, the potatoes and corned beef will not get crispy! Using a spatula, flip up large pieces and then cook on the other side for 2-3 minutes. If the hash is getting too brown, turn down the heat a bit.
