Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound yukon gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch pieces
- fine sea salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked corned beef, diced (about ½-inch pieces)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- optional toppings: fried or poached eggs, chopped fresh parsley and/or scallions, whole-grain dijon mustard, hot sauce
Instructions
- Place the diced potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water, adding salt liberally. Bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer for 5–6 minutes until barely tender.
- Drain the potatoes and allow to steam dry for a minute or two.
- In a large skillet, melt together the butter and olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the onion and red bell pepper. Sauté for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized. Add in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Combine the parboiled potatoes and diced corned beef in the skillet. Season with black pepper and smoked paprika, tossing gently to mix. Press the mixture into an even layer in the skillet.
- Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until a golden crust develops on the bottom. Flip sections of the hash instead of stirring and press them back down. Repeat for a total of 15–20 minutes until the hash is crispy and deeply browned.
- Taste and season further with salt and pepper as desired. Serve hot with optional toppings such as fried eggs or herbs.
Notes
For crispy texture, avoid stirring the hash too often while cooking.
Serve with your choice of eggs for an extra hearty meal.
