Corned beef hash ranks high on my list of breakfast food loves. Frozen hash brown and deli counter corned beef allow me to enjoy it year round. There’s no need to wait for Saint Patrick’s Day or leftover corned beef dinner to do so. But I’ll have to say, this breakfast dish is one of my favorite ways to use the leftover!


This corned beef is made simply with potato, hash brown, garlic, onion, butter, oil, and spices. You can certainly add on if you want to...bell peppers, cabbage, or sauerkraut are great options. Topping with a runny egg is always okay in my book!

Ingredients

  • 3/4 pound leftover or deli counter corned beef, about 2 cups diced into 1/2-inch cubes.
  • 2 tablespoons chopped garlic
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped onion
  • 16 ounces frozen hash brown, diced or shredded (see notes below)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions

Preheat a 12-inch skillet on medium heat with 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add onion. Sauté for 2 minutes. Remove from skillet.
Add remaining butter and olive oil. Add potatoes. Let brown for 2 minutes.
Add garlic and spices. Stir into potatoes. Allow potato to brown undisturbed, turning over roughly every 3 minutes for 10 minutes. Turn down the heat if potatoes start to burn.
Return onion to skillet. Add corned beef. Mix to combine. Allow to cook undisturbed, turning over mixture every 2 minutes for 6 to 8 minutes. Turn down the heat if potatoes burn.
Serve as is or with eggs. See note below for cooking eggs in the hash brown.
Tips
  • Frozen or refrigerated store bought hash browns can be used.
  • If using fresh potato: boil, bake, or microwave until the can be pierced with a knife or skewer. The potatoes should be tender but have some firmness and resistance. Since they finish cooking in skillet, you don’t want to pre-cook them all the way.
  • To cook eggs in the corned beef hash: create 4-6 wells in mixture. Crack an egg into each. Option one is to cover and cook on medium low on the stovetop for 4-6 minutes or until desired doneness. Second cooking option is to place the uncovered skillet in a preheated 375° F oven for 7-10 minutes. Last option is to broil the uncovered skillet, but watch carefully to avoid burning. The second and third option is for oven safe skillets only.
