Ingredients You’ll Need
To create a delicious corned beef hash, gather the following ingredients: 2 cups of cooked corned beef (chopped), 2 cups of cooked potatoes (diced), 1 medium onion (finely chopped), 2 tablespoons of butter or oil, salt and pepper to taste, and optional toppings like fried eggs or fresh herbs.
Preparing Your Ingredients
Start by ensuring all your ingredients are ready. If you’re using leftover corned beef from a previous meal, shred it into bite-sized pieces. For the potatoes, you can either use leftover boiled potatoes or cook new ones until they are fork-tender before dicing them into small cubes. Chop your onion finely so that it cooks evenly.
Cooking Your Corned Beef Hash
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter or heat oil until it’s shimmering. Add the chopped onions and sauté them until they become translucent—this usually takes about 5 minutes. Next, add in your diced potatoes along with salt and pepper to taste; stir everything together so that the flavors meld.
Adding Corned Beef
Once your potato mixture begins to brown slightly (about another 5-7 minutes), add in the prepared corned beef. Stir gently to combine everything without breaking up the meat too much. Let it cook undisturbed for about five minutes to allow some crispy bits to form on the bottom—this is key for great texture.
Serving Suggestions
After cooking everything together for about 15-20 minutes until heated through and golden brown on top, it’s time to serve. You can enjoy your corned beef hash as is or topped with a perfectly fried egg on each serving for an extra touch of richness. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives if desired.
Making corned beef hash at home is not only easy but also incredibly rewarding. With these simple steps laid out for you, you’ll be able to whip up this comforting dish whenever cravings strike. Enjoy preparing this delightful recipe with friends and family.
