Ingredients

Scale

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

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.
