Corned Beef Hash with diced yukon potatoes, corned beef, onion and fried egg

Discover the simplicity of crafting mouthwatering corned beef hash with gravy. Sauté onions, mix in boiled potatoes and cooked corned beef until crisp. Pair with eggs—fried, poached, or nestled into the hash—for a fulfilling breakfast feast.

For the Perfect Corned Beef Hash

Crispy Texture: To achieve crispy edges on the hash, refrain from stirring too frequently while cooking. Allow the mixture to brown and caramelize before flipping.
Eggs: Serve the hash with fried, poached, or scrambled eggs on top for a classic breakfast dish. You can also serve it with a side of avocado, salsa, or hot sauce for added flavour.
Adjust the Gravy: If the gravy is too thick, you can add more beef broth or water to thin it out. If it’s too thin, let it simmer for longer to reduce and thicken. For a smoother gravy, you can strain it through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps or impurities before serving.

What You Need

Butter: Use unsalted butter, but vegetable oil works well too.
Veggies:
- Onion: Finely chopped red or white onion.
- Potatoes: Yukon gold or any firm yet tender potatoes. Boil or roast ahead of time, then dice for the hash.
Herbs & Spices – Use salt and ground pepper. Chop some fresh parsley to garnish and spice a little the kedgeree.
Corned beef – Use tinned corned beef finely chopped. While corned beef is traditional, you can also use leftover roast beef, brisket, or even cooked sausage as a delicious alternative. As a healthier option, I also use ground turkey.
Gravy –
- Pan drippings – Use pan drippings and top with butter for the gravy.
- Flour – Use plain or all-purpose flour to thicken the gravy
- Broth – Use beef broth or beef stock
- Other ingredients – Add herbs or spices such as thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, or onion powder. You can also add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to add complexity or hot sauce for a spicy kick.

Save the Corned Beef Hash For Later

Leftovers – This hash is perfect for using up leftover corned beef from St. Patrick’s Day or any other occasion. It’s a delicious way to repurpose leftovers into a new meal.
Freezing: You can freeze leftover corned beef hash for future meals. Allow it to cool completely, then transfer it to airtight containers or freezer bags. It will keep well in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Make-Ahead: Corned beef hash is a great make-ahead dish and reheat in a skillet when ready to serve. This gravy can be made in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving. Gravy can also be frozen for longer storage. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

Description

Classic corned beef hash with potatoes and onions. Perfect solo or paired with gravy and sunny side up eggs! Enjoy the comfort

Ingredients

3 tbsp unsalted butter 30g
1 medium onion finely chopped (about 1 cup)
350 g corned beef finely chopped (3-4 cups)
300 g (300g up to 450g)chopped cooked potatoes preferably Yukon gold
Kosher salt
Ground Black Pepper freshly ground
Fresh parsley chopped

For the gravy

3 tbsp pan drippings top with butter if you don't have enough
3 tbsp flour
500 ml beef broth or beef stock (2 cups)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch pepper

Instructions

Heat butter in a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, stirring occasionally.
Mix in the chopped corned beef and potatoes. Spread out evenly in the pan. Increase heat to medium-high and press down on the mixture with a spatula.
Allow the mixture to brown without stirring. Use a spatula to check if it's browned underneath. If so, flip sections over to brown the other side. Press down with the spatula. Add more butter if needed.
Remove from heat, stir in chopped parsley. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper and salt to taste.
Serve and enjoy with fried or poached eggs for breakfast. If you want to make the gravy save the pan drippings and follow the next instructions.

Make the gravy

After cooking the corned beef, pour the pan drippings into a bowl. You'll need about 3 tablespoons of drippings for the gravy. If you don't have enough drippings, you can top it up with butter to make up the difference.
In a saucepan, heat the 3 tablespoons of pan drippings over medium heat. Once the drippings are hot, add the 3 tablespoons of flour to the pan. Stir continuously with a whisk or wooden spoon until the flour is fully incorporated and the mixture becomes a smooth paste, known as a roux.
Continue to cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to cook off the raw flour taste. Be careful not to let it burn.
Gradually pour in the 500 ml (2 cups) of beef broth or beef stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Add a pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper to the gravy, adjusting the seasoning to taste.
Bring the gravy to a simmer over medium heat, stirring frequently. Allow it to simmer for 5-10 minutes, or until it reaches your desired thickness. If the gravy is too thick, you can add more beef broth to thin it out. If it's too thin, you can let it simmer for longer to reduce and thicken.
Once the gravy reaches the desired consistency and flavor, remove it from the heat. Serve it hot over your corned beef hash and fried eggs.

Recipe Notes:

Crispy Texture: To achieve crispy edges, avoid stirring too frequently while cooking. Let the mixture brown and caramelize before flipping.
Eggs: Top the hash with fried, poached, or scrambled eggs for a classic breakfast. Add avocado, salsa, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
