A hearty, flavorful dish combining tender potatoes, sweet onions, and savory corned beef, perfect for a quick, satisfying meal that highlights comforting, meaty flavors.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Cook the stewing potatoes and onions until tender.
- Cut the canned corned beef into chunks and add to the cooked potatoes and onions.
- Cook until the beef is hot.
- Do not stir; the beef will come apart.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful hash, consider adding garlic or bell peppers when cooking the onions. If you don't have stewing potatoes, any waxy potato will work well. You can also substitute the canned corned beef with leftover meat from dishes like Rose Lee'S Old Fashioned Pot Roast for a unique twist. Make sure to cook the ingredients on medium heat to achieve a nice crust without burning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the corned beef hash with a fried egg on top for a hearty breakfast or brunch. It pairs beautifully with toast or a side of sautéed greens for a complete meal. Consider adding some hot sauce or ketchup for an extra flavor kick. This dish also complements American recipes like Meat Loaf A-La-Tracye for a comforting dinner.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the hash in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. You can also microwave it in short intervals, but be careful not to overheat, as this can make the beef tough.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh corned beef instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh corned beef. Just cook it separately until tender, then chop and combine it with the potatoes and onions. This may enhance the flavor and texture of the dish.
What type of potatoes work best for this recipe?
Waxy potatoes like red or Yukon gold are ideal for this recipe as they hold their shape well when cooked. Avoid starchy potatoes like russets, as they can become mushy.
How can I add more vegetables to the hash?
You can enhance the hash by adding vegetables such as diced bell peppers, carrots, or even frozen peas. Just toss them in with the onions while cooking to ensure they become tender and flavorful.
