Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked corned beef, diced
  • 3 cups russet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 2 medium)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 bell pepper, diced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 4 large eggs (for serving)
  • Hot sauce or ketchup (optional for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prep potatoes: Parboil diced potatoes for 5 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
  2. Cook vegetables: Heat butter and oil in large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add onions and bell pepper (if using), cooking until softened (5 mins). Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Brown potatoes: Increase heat to medium-high. Add potatoes in single layer. Cook undisturbed 5 minutes to develop crust, then stir and repeat until golden brown (about 15 mins total).
  4. Add corned beef: Stir in diced corned beef, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Press mixture down with spatula and cook 5 more minutes to crisp.
  5. Finish: Make 4 wells in hash, crack eggs into each. Cover and cook 3-5 minutes until eggs reach desired doneness.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with hot sauce or ketchup.

Notes

  • Leftover magic: Ideal for using St. Patrick’s Day leftovers (both corned beef and cooked potatoes).
  • Crispy tip: Don’t stir too often – let the potatoes develop a golden crust.
  • Shortcut: Use frozen diced potatoes (no need to parboil).
  • Storage: Keeps refrigerated for 3 days (reheat in skillet for best texture).
