Diced potatoes and cooked corned beef press into a browned skillet crust, with sweet onion and parsley between the crisp edges.

Leaving the pan alone is the key to Corned Beef Hash: the potato and meat need contact with hot metal to develop a crust. Turn broad sections rather than stirring constantly, then let the second side brown just as deeply.

Start with cooked potatoes that are dry and cool. Freshly boiled, wet potatoes tend to steam and break apart; leftovers from a boiled dinner are especially useful here.

Method

  1. Melt butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook onion for until soft and translucent.

  2. Add cooked corned beef and cooked potatoes. Spread into an even layer, press down and cook over medium-high heat for without stirring until a brown crust forms underneath.

  3. Turn the hash in broad sections, press down again and cook for until the second side is crisp and the center is steaming hot.

  4. Fold in parsley and black pepper, taste and add salt if needed. Cook for more and serve from the skillet.

Forkue tips

  • A wide, well-seasoned skillet helps the hash brown; halve the batch if your pan is smaller than 12 inches.

Storing and reheating

Refrigerate for up to 3 days, counting from when the corned beef was first cooked. Reheat spread thinly in a skillet so the potatoes crisp again.
