A quick and easy crispy corned beef hash recipe perfect for hearty breakfasts, combining crispy potatoes with tender corned beef and onions for a nostalgic comfort food experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked corned beef, diced or shredded
  • 3 medium potatoes (Russet or Yukon Gold), peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil or bacon fat
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into small, even cubes about ½ inch pieces. Rinse in cold water to remove excess starch and pat dry.
  2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and add the diced potatoes. Boil for about 5 minutes until just tender but not falling apart. Drain and dry completely on a kitchen towel.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil or bacon fat in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes in a single layer and cook undisturbed for about 5 minutes until bottoms are golden and crispy.
  4. Flip the potatoes gently to crisp the other sides, cooking another 5 minutes. Press slightly with a spatula for better contact with the pan.
  5. Add chopped onions and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until onions soften and become translucent.
  6. Add the diced or shredded corned beef. Season with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Stir to combine evenly.
  7. Press the hash down evenly in the pan and cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes to form a crust. Carefully flip sections to crisp the other side.
  8. Drizzle Worcestershire sauce over the hash, stir gently, and cook for another minute to meld flavors.
  9. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

Patience is key to getting crispy potatoes; avoid stirring too often. Rinse and dry potatoes well to prevent sogginess. Use medium-high heat and press hash down to form a crust. If hash sticks, add a little oil or deglaze with water. For gluten-free, ensure Worcestershire sauce is gluten-free. Leftovers can be refrigerated up to 3 days and reheated in a skillet to restore crispiness.
