Corned Beef Hash Breakfast Recipe

My Corned Beef Hash Breakfast Recipe is one of the best ways to use up that leftover corned beef! Add grilled onions and potatoes, top with a sunny side up egg and you’ve got yourself a superbly delicious hash for brunch the next day! I used my Smoked Corned Beef but feel free to use whatever corned beef you made or bought for St. Patrick’s Day!

What is Corned Beef Hash?

I love Corned Beef Hash! It’s the perfect way to use up those pesky corned beef leftovers. It’s a fast and easy recipe for a weekend brunch (or breakfast for dinner!) that fills and warms your belly. This Irish dish is made from cooked corned beef, diced potatoes, and onions. I season it with just some salt, pepper, and fresh parsley. This recipe is great on its own or with eggs and toast. I like my eggs runny, so cooking the eggs sunny side up in a separate pan is what I prefer. Alternatively, you can create a few wells in the hash and crack the eggs right into the skillet, and then bake until the eggs are cooked to your preferred doneness.

Ingredients Needed for this Corned Beef Hash Breakfast Recipe

• potatoes– diced and cooked in olive oil for perfectly crispy potatoes. Yukon Golds are the best potato to use for hash– they get crispy on the outside, and soft on the inside.
• onions- diced. I used a yellow onion I had on hand.
• corned beef– cooked, diced. Use leftover meat from earlier in the week as an option too!
• fresh parsley– chopped, for garnish
• large eggs– cooked sunny side up, fried or poached
• pantry staples– salt, black pepper, olive oil, butter

Variations:

• Feeling adventurous? Swap potatoes with sweet potatoes for a twist.
• Substitute corned beef with shredded cooked chicken for a lighter option.
• Add diced green peppers for extra color and flavor.
• Want to add a little heat? Add a little cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce.

Can I Substitute Corned Beef For Another Meat?

Absolutely! I mean, this recipe is specifically called Corned Beef Hash, but it’s so versatile that you can substitute any meat you’d like and still have a delicious hash. It’s a great way to use up leftover –

• Pork Butt
• Beef Short Ribs
• Easter Ham
• Pot Roast Beef
• Pork Loin Roast
• Steak
• or any deli meat from the deli counter, like Pastrami

How to Make Corned Beef Hash

Corned Beef Hash is a hearty breakfast and an easy way to use up leftover corned beef brisket! For full recipe details, including ingredient measurements, see the printable recipe card down below. Here is step by step what to expect when making this recipe:

1. Cook Potatoes

Place diced potatoes in a medium pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and boil for about 10 minutes or until just fork tender. Drain potatoes and set aside. 

2. Saute Onions + Potatoes

Heat a large cast iron skillet (or nonstick skillet) over medium heat and add oil and butter. 

First, add diced onions and slowly cook until they begin to caramelize, about 10 minutes.

Next, stir in potatoes and cook until potatoes are golden brown, stirring and flipping occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with fresh herbs like parsley.

Add Diced Corned Beef

Finally, add diced corned beef to the sautéed onions and potatoes, cooking just until warmed through. 

Serve Hot + Add Cooked Egg

Remove from heat, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve hot with your preferred style of egg on top of each serving. Sunny side up, fried or poached eggs are all good options.

Alternatively, you can place a few wells in the hash with the bottom of a small glass and crack the eggs right into the skillet. Bake in the oven at 350° F until desired doneness is achieved (10-20 minutes). I prefer a super runny yolk, so I like to cook them separately. 

Storage Directions

Allow leftover potatoes to cool to room temperature. Store breakfast hash in an airtight container in the fridge. Corned beef hash can last up to 4-5 days in the refrigerator.

To Freeze: If you want to store corned beef hash for a longer period of time, you can freeze it. Place the cooled corned beef hash into an airtight container or freezer safe ziploc bag in the freezer for up to 3-4 months. Allow to thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
