Description
This Chef John’s Corned Beef Hash is a classic diner-style breakfast (or anytime!) dish! I love the combination of crispy potatoes, savory corned beef, and flavorful onions. It’s hearty, satisfying, and surprisingly easy to make.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered
- 1 ½ pounds cooked corned beef, finely chopped
- 1 bunch green onions, chopped
- Salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup roasted tomato salsa
Instructions
1. Cook the Potatoes:
Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot.
Cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are almost tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. They should be easily pierced with a fork. But not falling apart.
Drain the potatoes well. Finely chop them.
2. Cook the Corned Beef:
While the potatoes are cooking, cook the finely chopped corned beef in a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Cook until the fat begins to render and the beef starts to crisp up slightly.
3. Add Onions and Season:
Stir in the chopped green onions, salt, and pepper to the skillet with the corned beef.
4. Add Garlic and Butter: Add the crushed garlic and butter to the skillet.
Cook and stir until the butter is melted and the garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
5. Add Potatoes and Salsa:
Stir in the finely chopped cooked potatoes and the roasted tomato salsa.
Add a pinch of salt.
6. Form and Cook the Hash:
Pat the mixture down in the skillet with a spatula to form an even layer.
Divide the hash into 4 sections (like cutting a pie). This will make it easier to flip.
Cook, without stirring, until a crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes.
7. Flip and Cook:
Carefully flip each section of the hash using a spatula.
Cook until a crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes more.
8. Repeat and Serve:
Repeat the cooking and flipping process, flipping every 5 minutes, until the hash stays together and has a golden-brown crust, 10 to 15 minutes total.
Serve hot and enjoy!
