Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups diced russet potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes, 1/2-inch dice)
  • 1 (12-ounce) can corned beef, broken into chunks, or 2 cups leftover homemade corned beef, shredded
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • Optional for serving: chopped fresh parsley, hot sauce, shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Add diced potatoes to the skillet. Spread in an even layer and cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes to sear. Stir, then season with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and thyme. Cook for another 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  3. Push potato mixture to the sides of the skillet. Add corned beef to the center, let it sizzle for a minute, then fold into the potatoes. Cook together for 3-4 minutes. For extra crispiness, press down with a spatula and cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Use the back of a spoon to create four indentations in the hash. Crack an egg into each well. Season eggs lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5-8 minutes, until egg whites are set and yolks reach desired doneness.

Notes

For crispier hash, let the potato mixture sit undisturbed after pressing down. Use a cast iron skillet for best browning. For runny yolks, check eggs at 5 minutes. Leftover hash (without eggs) freezes well for up to 3 months.
