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!
