🔥 Tips for the Best Corned Beef Hash

- Get it crispy – Let the hash sit undisturbed for a couple of minutes at a time so it gets those golden brown, crispy edges.
- Adjust seasoning – Corned beef can be salty, so taste before adding extra salt.
- Spice it up – Add diced jalapeños or a drizzle of hot sauce for a kick.
- Use fresh corned beef – If using canned corned beef, crisp it up well to improve texture.
🔄 Substitutions & Variations
- No corned beef? – Try ham, bacon, or even shredded beef as a substitute.
- Make it cheesy – Sprinkle shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese over the hash before serving.
- Low-Carb Version – Swap potatoes for diced cauliflower or radishes for a keto-friendly option.
- Add veggies – Toss in bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for extra nutrition.
- Egg-Free Option – Top the hash with avocado slices instead of eggs.
🥗 Make a Healthier Version
- Use sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes for extra fiber.

Corned Beef Hash And Eggs
Description
This recipe is all about texture and flavor—crispy potatoes, salty corned beef, caramelized onions, and that creamy egg yolk running through the hash.
Ingredients
For the Hash:
- 2 tbsp butter (or oil)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cups cooked corned beef, chopped into small pieces
- 2 cups potatoes, peeled and diced (Yukon Gold or Russet work best)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
- ½ tsp salt (adjust based on the saltiness of your corned beef)
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (adds depth)
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (plus more for garnish)
For the Eggs:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp butter (for frying the eggs)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For Serving:
- Toasted bread or English muffins
- Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Ingredients
Chop your cooked corned beef into small, bite-sized pieces. Dice the potatoes into small cubes (about ½ inch thick) to ensure they cook quickly and evenly.
Step 2: Crisp Up the Potatoes
Heat 2 tbsp of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start turning golden brown and crispy.
Step 3: Sauté the Onions & Corned Beef
Add the diced onion to the skillet with the potatoes. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions soften.
Add the chopped corned beef, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together and let it cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the corned beef to get crispy edges.
Step 4: Cook the Eggs
In a separate small pan, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook to your desired doneness:
- For sunny-side up: Cook for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny.
- For over-easy: Flip the eggs and cook for another 30 seconds.
- For scrambled: Whisk the eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, until set.
Step 5: Assemble & Serve
Spoon the crispy corned beef hash onto plates and top each portion with a fried egg. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with toast or an English muffin. Enjoy!
