Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 12 ounces cooked corned beef, chopped into small pieces (about 2 ½ cups)
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs (optional, for serving)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep the sweet potatoes by peeling and dicing them into even ½-inch cubes.
  2. For crispier potatoes, par-cook them by microwaving for 3-4 minutes until just tender, or boil for 5-6 minutes. Drain well and pat dry.
  3. Heat oil in a large cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  5. Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, and thyme. Stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Add the sweet potato cubes to the skillet. Spread in an even layer and let cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to brown. Stir, then let sit again for a few more minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Add the chopped corned beef to the skillet. Gently fold everything together. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corned beef is hot and potatoes are tender and crispy.
  8. To serve with eggs, create four wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until eggs are set to your liking. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Notes

For best results, use a large skillet and avoid crowding to ensure proper browning. Let the hash sit undisturbed for periods to develop a crispy crust. This hash stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheats beautifully in a skillet.
