A hearty, savory hash with tender beef, potatoes, and vegetables, perfect for a comforting family meal or a satisfying brunch option.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Saute chopped celery and onion in butter until tender.
- Add cooked, diced potatoes and cooked, diced beef to the skillet.
- Pour beef gravy over the mixture.
- Bake uncovered at 350°F for 30 minutes or cook on top of the stove for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using leftover brisket of corned beef instead of beef, or add some Worcestershire sauce for depth. If you're short on time, pre-cooked potatoes can be a great substitute. You can also swap the beef for ground turkey for a lighter dish. Don't skip sautéing the celery and onion; it enhances the overall taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this hash hot, garnished with fresh parsley for a pop of color. It pairs beautifully with a side of scrambled eggs or a simple green salad. For a heartier meal, consider serving it alongside mean pork and beans or toasted bread to soak up the flavor. This dish is perfect for brunch or a comforting dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, warm it gently in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, or microwave in short bursts until heated through. If the hash seems dry, add a splash of beef gravy or water to moisten it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other meats in this hash?
Absolutely! You can substitute the beef with leftover ham, turkey, or even sautéed sausage for a different flavor profile. Each option will bring its unique taste to the dish, making it versatile for what you have on hand.
How can I make this dish vegetarian?
To make a vegetarian version, replace the beef with cooked lentils or chickpeas, and use vegetable broth instead of beef gravy. You can also add more vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms for added texture and flavor.
What type of potatoes work best for this recipe?
Starchy potatoes like Russets are ideal for hash, as they become fluffy when cooked. However, you can also use waxy potatoes like Yukon Gold for a firmer texture. Just ensure they are fully cooked and diced before adding them to the skillet.
