Corned beef hash is the ultimate comfort food—crispy potatoes, tender corned beef, and golden onions all fried up in one pan. Whether you’re using leftovers from a corned beef dinner or a can from the pantry, this recipe turns simple ingredients into a flavorful, filling meal. Top it with a fried egg for a breakfast that hits every craving, or serve it as a savory side for brunch or dinner.
2 cups cooked corned beef, chopped (or one 12 oz can, diced)
2 cups cooked potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold or russets work best)
1 small onion, diced
2 tablespoons butter or oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional: chopped parsley, garlic powder, paprika, or hot sauce
Optional Toppings:
Fried or poached eggs
Shredded cheese
Green onions
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.
