Ingredients
Instructions
- Put the leftover roast beef, onions, potatoes, and carrots through a food processor or food grinder until it looks chopped.
- Fry the chopped mixture slowly in a little oil over low heat until all ingredients are tender.
- If you have leftover gravy, serve it over the hash for added flavor.
Tips & Substitutions
For a heartier texture, consider adding bell peppers or celery to the mixture along with the onions. If you don't have leftover roast beef, ground beef or turkey can work as a substitute. Adjust the seasoning with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary for added flavor. For a crispy finish, increase the heat in the last few minutes of cooking.
Serving Suggestions
Serve George's Hash with a side of fried eggs for a complete breakfast or brunch. It pairs beautifully with leftover gravy or even a dollop of sour cream. For a well-rounded meal, consider serving it alongside a fresh green salad or roasted vegetables. This dish also makes a great filling for a breakfast burrito or wrap.

Store any leftover hash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. You can also microwave it in a covered dish, adding a splash of water to keep it moist.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of meat for this hash?
Yes, you can use other cooked meats like ham, turkey, or even sausage in place of roast beef. Just ensure that the meat is cooked through before adding it to the mixture. This flexibility allows you to use whatever leftovers you have on hand.
What type of potatoes work best for this recipe?
Russet potatoes are a great choice for their fluffy texture, but Yukon Gold potatoes provide a creamier consistency. You can also use sweet potatoes for a healthier twist and a bit of sweetness in your hash.
How can I make this recipe vegetarian?
To make a vegetarian version, replace the roast beef with cooked lentils or a meat substitute like tempeh or tofu. You can also enhance the flavor with smoked paprika or liquid smoke to give it a savory depth that mimics the taste of meat.
