Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 cups cooked corned beef, chopped or shredded (about 12 oz)
- 3 cups cooked potatoes, diced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil or butter in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
- Increase heat to medium-high. Add chopped corned beef and cooked potatoes to the skillet. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper.
- Press the mixture down into an even layer with a spatula. Let it cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to form a golden crust on the bottom.
- Stir the hash well, flip sections over, and press down again. Repeat this process of cooking undisturbed and then stirring 2-3 more times, for a total of 12-15 minutes, until crispy throughout.
- Taste and adjust seasoning. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.
Notes
For best crisp, do not stir too often. Ensure potatoes and corned beef are well-drained to avoid steaming. Reheats beautifully in a skillet to restore crispiness.
