Best Corned Beef Hash Recipe
When you make corned beef and cabbage, you get a two for the price of one comfort food. Is there anything better on a winter weekend then homemade corned beef hash and eggs for breakfast? I think not… If you need some great recipes for making corned beef check out these 5 variations I posted on Babble’s Family Kitchen.
We wanted a recipe that was like a delicious restaurant quality dish but was also easy to make. I think we found a winner with this dish by one of Seattle’s most popular chef’s – Tom Douglas. His recipe was featured on Serious Eats several years ago. They adapted it and I adapted it slightly again. I think you’ll love this recipe and will decide to make further adaptations to make it your own. In fact, I think it’s one of the best corned beef hash dishes I’ve had.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
- 1.5 - 2 lbs leftover cooked corned beef
- ½ lb Yukon gold potatoes (not Russets)
- 3 TBSP unsalted butter
- 3 TBSP rendered bacon fat
- ⅔ cup diced sweet onions
- 1 poblano chile, seeded and minced (about ⅔ cup)
- 1 diced carrot
- 3 cloves minced garlic
- 2 TBSP, plus 1 tsp of Heinz or homemade chili sauce
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 8 large eggs
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- Peel and cut potatoes into ½-inch dice.
- Place potatoes in pot of salted cold water and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are tender (probably 15 minutes.)
- Drain and set aside.
- Melt ½ the butter (or bacon fat butter blend) in a large saute pan over high heat.
- Add potatoes, onions, chile pepper, garlic and carrot.
- Fry while stirring until potatoes begin to brown and veggies are slightly soft.
- Add corned beef and chili sauce then season with salt and pepper.
- Add the remaining butter to the pan and continue to cook over high heat while tossing or turning the hash with a spatula.
- You can also press the spatula down on hash (like you would hash browns) to get each side crisp before flipping. It will start to get light brown and crisp.
- Place pan in the oven to keep warm while you prepare the eggs.
