Ingredients
- 2tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1pound Yukon gold potatoes (about 2 large), scrubbed and diced into ½-inch pieces
- 1yellow onion, diced into ½-inch pieces
- Salt and pepper
- 1½cups (8 ounces) bite-size pieces corned beef
- Fried or poached eggs, for serving (optional)
Preparation
- Step 1
In a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium. Add the potatoes and onion and season with salt and pepper (1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher or ½ teaspoon fine sea salt). Stir to coat in the oil and butter, add ¼ cup water and spread into an even layer. Cover and cook, stirring once or twice and lowering the heat if necessary to keep from scorching, until fork tender and golden in spots, 13 to 18 minutes.
- Step 2
Increase the heat to medium-high, add the corned beef and cook, stirring every couple of minutes, until the corned beef is warmed through and browned in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with an egg on top if you like.

Cooking Notes
I’m sure it’s tasty, but it’s just too refined, too chunky and too pretty for me to think of it as hash. It simply looks like arranged home fries, chopped corned beef and an egg. My extensive experience with hash tells me that it is a hodgepodge, a jumble staring a meat. The supporting ingredients are mushed in so the texture is more like refried beans. You may detect a chunk here and there but it stands out against a soft, creamy background.
I remember an old article in Cooks Illustrated that subbed cream for the water. Made for a richer potato to offset the salty, tangy meat. I’ll try that again…
I love this modified - make your hash of white potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets (any color) - otherwise follow the recipe. The sweet potatoes take less time to cook and are quick to burn so add them half-way through. In some parts of the midwest this is known as Red Flannel Hash.
Good basic recipe but needs a couple healthy splashes of Worcestershire Sauce to make it perfect.
Delicious and added Mama Lil’s Peppadew peppers and topped with thin sliced green onions. Would like to make again and add a bit of kale. Topped with sunny side up egg.
This recipe does not state whether the corned beef should be cooked in advance. I believe it’s meant to be assumed, though when I began to look at other recipes because I was not sure, all the other days the beef needs to be boiled until tender first.
Loved it. Cheated and used frozen cubed hash brown potatoes, got them slightly brown and then added onions, pepper (not sweet, mild hot) and corned beef. All cut approximately same size. Got it nice and crispy, made two sunny side up eggs, put on top. For my taste need a couple of dashes two of Cholula hot sauce. Perfect
Diced carrots would help. Agree with DeGust and Janet: too chunky - mush it up!
Made this exactly as described. Served with black beans and feta cheeses. Delicious & Nutritious!
It was not that good and not worth the effort. I followed the recipe exactly. Maybe it makes a difference in whether the corned beef is boiled or baked. Mine was baked. It just was too dry.

I like to add some chopped cabbage. Let the cabbage get browned. It adds a lot to the hash, and it's good for you too.
I have liked corn beef hash over the decades but when preparing it, I always tried to ensure that the potatoes were not soft cube, but prepared in a way that ensured they would be both relatively crispy And oil free. Much better way to go, IMHO.

I like to include sliced leek use a softer potato so that it is more mixed.
I like corned beef hash a little more cooked. In restaurants, I'll ask for it "well-done." I saw a friend do this, tried it and liked it. Recently, one restaurant served it covered with swiss cheese, in case the hit on your health was not severe enough without it.
I lived in New England, Massachusetts and Rhode Island and never saw corned beef hash in bite size pieces. Always put leftover through the “grinder” and fried them in patties. Great frozen too.. Just pop a poached egg on top.
