Corned Beef and Roasted Potato Hash
Leftovers is not a negative word at my house! Leftover corned beef brisket from St. Patrick’s Day (or any day) is an opportunity for Hash and Eggs for Brunch or Brinner. I can’t decide which I like better, the first round of Reuben Sandwiches from Instant Pot Corned Beef or next day Corned Beef Hash and Shirred Eggs from the leftovers!
Leftovers are new beginnings
I had enough corned beef brisket left over from making it in the Instant Pot for Reuben Sandwiches. I don’t recommend using the thinly sliced deli corned beef.
I used left over Rosemary Roasted Yukon Gold Potatoes but any cooked waxy potato will work fine. Boiled or steamed potatoes will need to be patted dry with paper towels first before chopping.
How to make Corned Beef Hash
The magical thing about making hash is that the amount of meat and potatoes can vary. But I do share the amounts in the recipe for what I used.
Melt ghee or a mixture of olive oil and butter in a hot 10 to 12-inch cast iron skillet.
Chop and cook half of a large onion over medium heat, stirring often.
Remove the onion to a small bowl and turn the heat up to medium-high. Wait until the cast iron skillet is very hot. Add the chopped potatoes for hash. Don’t be tempted to stir the potatoes until they are browned on the bottom. Stir only once or twice. This will give you the crisp brown edges you want from a hash “brown”.
Add the cooked onion and chopped corned beef. Since the corned beef is already cooked, you are just heating it up in the skillet. Turn the heat back down to medium. Add salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, just until heated.
To make “shirred eggs” on top of the corned beef hash, used a spoon or spatula to create 4 holes or circles in the bottom of the skillet.
Crack an egg right into each hole in the corned beef hash. Cook over medium heat until the bottom of the egg is starting to become opaque-about 1 minute. Then, place the skillet under the broiler in your oven about 3 inches from the broiler. Broil 30 seconds to 1 minute, depending on how you like your eggs cooked.
Notice the lime green sticking out from underneath the hot cast iron skillet? This is my all-time favorite silicone trivet. I can put even a hot cast iron skillet on it directly from the burner and it doesn’t melt. It folds up and fits in my drawer. I have a collection of them and use them all the time. Check it out here.
