Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil
  • 1 large yellow onion, diced
  • 1 large bell pepper (any color), diced
  • 3 cups cooked corned beef, finely chopped or shredded
  • 3 cups cooked potatoes, diced (about 2-3 medium russet or Yukon Gold potatoes)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large eggs (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet (preferably cast iron), melt butter or heat oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until softened and lightly colored.
  2. Push onions and peppers to the sides. Add diced potatoes in an even layer. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a golden crust, then stir everything together.
  3. Stir in chopped corned beef, minced garlic, and smoked paprika. Season with black pepper. Press mixture down with a spatula and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to crisp the bottom.
  4. Flip sections of the hash to crisp the other side. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until heated through and browned.
  5. For optional eggs, create four wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well, cover skillet, and cook for 3-5 minutes until whites are set. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Use pre-cooked potatoes for best texture. Be cautious with salt as corned beef is already salty. For a crispier hash, avoid stirring too often and let it form a crust. Add shredded cabbage with the peppers for a traditional twist.
