Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 0.45 pounds cooked corned beef diced
  • 0.68 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • ½ medium yellow onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Method
 

  1. Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10–12 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until golden and tender.
  3. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, until softened and lightly caramelized.
  4. Stir in the diced corned beef, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Cook for 5–7 minutes, pressing gently with a spatula, until the hash is heated through and crispy at the edges.
  6. Remove from heat, let rest for 1 minute, adjust seasoning if needed, and serve hot.

Notes

For extra crispiness, pat the potatoes dry before cooking and avoid overcrowding the skillet. Serve with a fried egg on top for a classic finish.
