What is corned beef hash?

The term “hash” is often used to describe a dish made with chopped potatoes, onions and meat. In this case, the meat is corned beef, thus you get Corned Beef Hash. It’s a pretty easy, straight forward recipe.

The ingredients you’ll need:

BUTTER/OIL: To fry the hash in.

CORNED BEEF: You’ll need two cups of leftover corned beef diced small. Because you want it diced, thinly slices from the deli won’t work for this recipe.

RUSSET POTATOES: Peeled and diced.

ONION: Yellow or white onion work best in this recipe. Diced to the same size as the corned beef and potatoes.

GREEN ONION: Adds fresh onion flavor and a pop of color.

SALT/PEPPER/GARLIC POWDER: Keep in mind that corned beef is pretty salty. Wait until the very end to see if the final dish needs salt.

EGGS: Optional if you want to make this a main dish to serve at breakfast.
