Print Recipe

Corned beef hash, a savory blend of tender corned beef, crisp potatoes, and aromatic onions, serves as a delightful nod to classic comfort food. For those new to the dish, it’s a bit of a culinary journey—starting with the slow cooking of corned beef, which is then pan-fried with potatoes to achieve that much-loved crisp texture. This dish, while taking a bit of patience, pays off in big, flavorful dividends.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb raw corned beef brisket
  • 4 cups water (for boiling the corned beef)
  • 2 cups russet potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter or oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
  • 4 large eggs (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Corned Beef (2 hours): Place the raw corned beef in a large pot and cover with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and can be easily pulled apart with a fork. Once cooked, remove from the pot, let it cool, and dice.
  2. Prep the Ingredients (10 minutes): Dice the cooked corned beef, potatoes, and onion. Mince the garlic.
  3. Cook the Hash (20 minutes): In a large skillet, heat butter or oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until translucent. Add the diced potatoes and cook without stirring for 5-7 minutes, or until they begin to brown. Stir, then add the diced corned beef. Season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook, occasionally stirring, until the potatoes are golden and the beef is slightly crispy.
  4. Serve (5 minutes): Transfer the hash to plates. If desired, fry or poach eggs to serve on top. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

The journey to create the perfect corned beef hash begins with the patience of slow-cooking the beef, resulting in a tender and flavorful meat that’s the star of the show. While this dish requires a longer cook time than some quick meal options, the result is a hearty, satisfying meal that’s worth every minute. If you want to get ahead, you can cook the corned beef a day in advance and refrigerate it until you’re ready to make the hash. And, if you’re looking for side dishes, consider serving the hash with some toast or fresh fruit.
