When St. Patrick’s Day comes around, I make sure to save some of my leftover slow cooker corned beef to make this easy and flavorful dish. I also like to whip up some easy Irish soda bread for an amazing breakfast! One of the best parts of St. Patrick’s Day is the leftovers! I always prepare plenty of Instant Pot corned beef so I’ll have some on hand for sandwiches and this delicious corned beef hash. It’s simple, yet totally satisfying.
Corned Beef Hash Ingredients
To make corned beef hash, you will need butter, olive oil, onion, potatoes, corned beef, garlic, eggs, parsley, salt and black pepper.
How Do You Make Corned Beef Hash?
Start by cooking onions in a combination of butter and olive oil in a large pan or cast iron skillet until they are soft. Add potatoes to the pan with a little salt and black pepper, and cook until golden brown. The next step is to add cubed cooked corned beef. The potatoes and corned beef cook together until everything is crispy and browned and the potatoes are fork tender. Add a fried egg and a sprinkling of parsley and you’ll be ready to eat.
Tips For The Perfect Hash
Cut the potatoes into 1/2 inch cubes – larger pieces will take longer to cook in a skillet. If you don’t have leftover beef brisket, you can buy ready made beef at the deli counter of most grocery stores. Cut your corned beef into 1/2 inch cubes so that it’s the same size as the potatoes. I like to use Russet potatoes, but other varieties will also work such as Yukon Gold potatoes or red potatoes. You can even use sweet potatoes for a different twist! Serve this dish for breakfast, brunch or even for an unexpected dinner. While I prefer to serve my eggs over easy to get that runny yolk, you can also serve this hash with a pile of scrambled eggs on top with great results. Poached eggs are also a great option.
Corned Beef Hash Variations
This is a simple recipe that is a great way to use up other ingredients that you have on hand.
Protein: No corned beef? Try this recipe with pastrami, ham, cooked crumbled sausage or bacon. Vegetables: You can add vegetables such as a bell pepper, mushrooms, carrots or even greens such as spinach or kale. Cheese: I love to sprinkle a handful of shredded white cheddar cheese over my hash for added flavor. Herbs: No fresh parsley on hand? Try a sprinkling of fresh thyme or chives instead.
This dish has the perfect blend of savory flavors and textures. It’s the ultimate way to use up leftover corned beef.
