Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter or olive oil, divided
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 1 red or green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 pound russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 12 ounces cooked corned beef, chopped or shredded
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • Chopped fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Push the onions and peppers to the sides of the pan. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the center. Once melted, add the diced potatoes in an even layer. Let cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to develop a golden crust before stirring. Repeat this process, cooking for a total of 12-15 minutes, until potatoes are tender and crispy.
  3. Stir in the chopped corned beef, minced garlic, smoked paprika, and thyme. Cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the corned beef to get slightly crispy. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  4. Using the back of a spoon, create four small indentations in the surface of the hash. Crack an egg into each well.
  5. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet with a lid or a large baking sheet. Cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny, about 5-7 minutes. For firmer yolks, cook 1-2 minutes longer.
  6. Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives. Serve immediately.

Notes

For crispier potatoes, pat them very dry before cooking. Frozen diced hash browns are a great shortcut; be sure to pat them dry. The corned beef is salty, so taste before adding extra salt.
