- 3 cups diced russet potatoes You’ll need 3-4 potatoes to get 3 cups.
- 1 cup cooked onions, chopped yellow or white onions.
- 2-3 cups finely chopped cooked corned beef
- 4 tbsp butter salted or unsalted, as you prefer
- 2 dashes of Worcestershire sauce
- salt and pepper to taste
Chop your onion, then sauté in butter until translucent.
Bring 8 cups water to a boil (you’ll need it in a few minutes)
While water is heating up, rinse, peel and dice potatoes to about 1/4 inch cubes. Set aside in a bowl or Tupperware filled with enough cold water to cover your spuds (this prevents them from turning brown).
Take your corned beef and finely chop until the pieces are the size of crumbled taco meat.
Now boil your diced potatoes for 5 minutes. Drain potatoes, rinsing them with fresh cold water to stop the cooking process.
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet on medium heat. Add diced boiled potatoes to skillet along with sautéed onion and corned beef. Season with salt and pepper and a couple dashes of Worcestershire sauce.
Cook until the meat gets nice and crispy, stirring and flipping the mixture often so as not to burn. It usually takes a good 20 minutes to get it to perfection. Serve corned beef hash with pan fried eggs and toast.
This recipe serves 4, but you can stretch to 5-6 by adding easy side dishes. Transform this great breakfast into a great, big breakfast by adding a peppery fried egg on toast for each person.
Or make a “bird’s nest” by clearing a hole in the center of your hash, then cracking 2-3 eggs into the hole after your hash is ready. Cover your skillet/pan, and, and cook just long enough for the egg whites to set. Serve and enjoy!
