Ingredients
2 cups cooked corned beef, chopped (or one 12 oz can, diced)

1 small onion, diced
2 tablespoons butter or oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chopped parsley, garlic powder, paprika, or hot sauce

Instructions
Prep Ingredients: Use pre-cooked potatoes and corned beef for best texture. Leftovers or canned corned beef both work.
Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, melt butter or heat oil over medium heat.
Sauté Onions: Add diced onion and cook until soft and lightly golden, about 5 minutes.
Add Beef & Potatoes: Stir in corned beef and potatoes. Press down slightly into an even layer.
Cook Until Crispy: Let cook undisturbed for 5–7 minutes to form a crust. Stir, flip, and repeat on the other side. Season with salt, pepper, and spices to taste.
Serve Hot: Top with fried eggs or herbs, and serve immediately.
