Corned Beef Hash Recipe
PrintIf you have leftover cabbage from corned beef and cabbage, feel free to chop that up as well and add that to the hash.
Ingredients
- 2-3 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup)
- 2-3 cups finely chopped, cooked corned beef
- 2-3 cups chopped cooked potatoes, preferably Yukon gold
- Salt and pepper
- Chopped fresh parsley
Method
1 Sauté onions in butter: Heat butter in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) on medium heat. Add the onion and cook a few minutes, until translucent.
2 Add potatoes and corned beef: Mix in the chopped corned beef and potatoes. Spread out evenly over the pan. Increase the heat to high or medium high and press down on the mixture with a metal spatula.
3 Cook until browned, then flip: Do not stir the potatoes and corned beef, but let them brown. If you hear them sizzling, this is good.
Use a metal spatula to peek underneath and see if they are browning. If nicely browned, use the spatula to flip sections over in the pan so that they brown on the other side. Press down again with the spatula.
If there is too much sticking, you can add a little more butter to the pan. Continue to cook in this manner until the potatoes and the corned beef are nicely browned.
4 Stir in parsley, black pepper to serve: Remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley. Add plenty of freshly ground black pepper, and add salt to taste.
Serve with fried or poached eggs for breakfast.

What is “grey” corned beef?.
I just made some corned beef hash in a very similar way. I minced an onion, sauteed it in butter in an iron skillet, added diced potatoes, then a cup of water, a bit of sea salt, and simmered this until the potatoes were tender, adding a little water now and then, when necessary. Then I turned up the heat a bit to evaporate all the water and added the corned beef. I prefer not to brown the hash. When piping hot, add touch of white pepper before serving.
Here in Germany, the only kinds of corned beef you can get is the canned kind, but the quality of German corned beef is better than the Brazilian we get back in the States; or a cold cut of chopped cb in aspic, which I find repulsive. Oh, how I miss real NYC pastrami and corned beef!
Greetings from an ex-pat in Germany!
I just made cbh using leftover cb. I chopped up an onion a raw red potato and chopped cb in my chopper. Made it chop fairly fine. Mixed all together with one egg. put butter in frying pan and cooked on fairly low heat COVERED . Turn after a few minutes. let it cook until tender and brown. Great
