Homemade Corned Beef Hash Recipe

Quick and easy to make, this homemade Corned Beef Hash recipe uses leftover corned beef and potatoes to make a delightful breakfast.

A square white plate holds corned beef hash and a fried egg. Nearby is a glass of orange juice and a second plate.

As much as I am a firm believer in authentic foods, I am also a full-fledged, card-carrying, head-over-heels fan of corned beef and cabbage. And while that’s not really Irish per se, I have been eating it for St. Patrick’s Day since I was a wee little thing.

You bet your britches we’ll be having that this year too.

When it comes to purchasing corned beef, I don’t have a preference of flat cut versus point cut. While the flat cut is less expensive and a little easier to slice, the more marbled point cut is tasty and often more economical. As for the veggies in the dish, of course there has to be cabbage, which I love. Additionally, I always toss in potato chunks (red or Yukon gold) and carrot pieces.

One of my favorite part of any holiday is the leftovers, and St. Patrick’s Day (at my house) means corned beef begging to be used. And what is corned beef perfect for? Hash, of course! This corned beef hash can be whipped up in about 20 minutes and is fabulous with a fried or poached egg (or sunny side up, if you prefer).

A person (only the hands are showing) cuts corned beef hash on a white cutting board.

To make the hash, you start by finely dicing the leftover corned beef and potatoes.

A red bowl containing diced corned beef and potatoes sits on a countertop.

Then you mix it all up.

Diced corned beef and potatoes fry in a stainless steel pan on a hot burner.

Then you fry it up. And voila! You have a fabulous Homemade Corned Beef Hash.

A square white plate of corned beef hash with a fried egg sits on a granite countertop with a forkful of hash resting on the plate.

What will you be eating this St. Patrick’s Day?

I totally never realized that corned beef wasn't Irish. Where have I been all this time?

This sounds like a great meal to celebrate St. Paddy's day. It may not be traditional for the Irish but I love that it's traditional for you!
