When I'm cooking corned beef, watching it simmer in the aromatic broth, I'll sometimes close my eyes and picture the delicious plate of food I have coming. The funny thing is, it's not the sliced corned beef and cabbage I'm dreaming of, it's the corned beef hash I'm going to be making with the leftovers. Garnish with green onions and a poached egg.

Step 2

Cook beef in a large cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium heat until fat begins to render. Stir green onions, salt, and pepper into beef. Add garlic and butter; cook and stir until butter is melted and garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Step 3

Stir potatoes, salsa, and a pinch of salt into beef mixture. Pat mixture down in the skillet with a spatula and divide hash into 4 sections. Cook, without stirring, until a crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip sections and cook until a crust forms on the bottom again, about 5 minutes more. Repeat cooking and flipping process, flipping every 5 minutes, until hash stays together and has a golden crust, 10 to 15 minutes.

For the most part I followed the recipe, the only thing I did different was I cooked the corned beef brisket in the slow cooker for a day and a half, but that was more for my benefit. I love the smell in my house and also it made chopping it easier, it just falls apart. I have never cooked corned beef so I never dreamed I could make corned beef hash. The recipe is simple and tasty! Huge success. And it freezes well, this makes a lot for two people to eat so we froze most of it. We just take it out and put it in the fridge the night before then pop it in the microwave. Yumm! Great Recipe! Read More

This was ok to me. A sunnyside egg dropped on top added some extra flavor it needed. Read More

The flavor is out of this world good and I used baby red potatoes because I like to leave them unpeeled. The fire roasted salsa adds a delicious but subtle Southwestern flavor and instead of poached egg I topped the hash with more salsa and some sour cream. I had trouble flipping the hash in pieces so I did the best I could and just cooked it until it was crisp in pieces. Delicious!! Read More

Very Good! I had some left over roast beef that I needed to use up and went looking for a hash recipe. My mom made it for us many years ago to use up roast beef (and probably lamb or other roasts) and I recall her grinding the cooked meat but I just chopped it up. I used olive oil and regular onion as that was what I had. I didn't have the proper salsa but served it with ketchup like my mom did. Delish!! It brought back good memories, too. Thank you for the recipe. Next time I'll try it with the salsa. Read More

I Wondered. What the heck is the big deal about corned beef hash? Well now I know. Chopped up the leftover corned beef potatoes carrots and onions from the crockpot corned beef dinner. Added everything in recipe except green onions. Didn't have them. The salsa gives it spice but you can't tell it's from salsa. Perfect. Had it for breakfast next morning with sunny side up eggs on top. Yummy! Read More
