I have a love/hate affair with corned beef hash. Corned beef hash with poached or over medium eggs is one of my favorite foods to order from a diner. The problem is that at most diners, corned beef hash is way too salty, processed tasting and it looks like something that came out of a can which may or may not have been intended for human consumption. I decided to create a corned beef hash recipe that is easy, tastes awesome and doesn’t look like I should have fed it to my dog.
The recipe starts out with simple fresh ingredients, potatoes, onions and peppers. I purchased the corned beef from the deli counter at my local supermarket and had sliced to about a quarter to a half an inch thick. If you have some leftover corned beef that is homemade that would work too. You can shred the fresh corned beef instead of dicing it like I do in the recipe.
Corned Beef Hash
Ingredients
- 4 Medium Russet Potatoes
- 1 Large Onion or 2 Small Onions
- 1 Medium Green Bell Pepper
- 1 Medium Red Bell Pepper
- ½ lb Deli Corned Beef You can substitute homemade corned beef
- Salt and Pepper
- Garlic Powder
Instructions
- Slice onions and peppers into thin slices.
- Peel Potatoes.
- Dice potatoes into ½ inch cubes.
- Dice the corned beef into ¼-½ inch dice. If the corned beef is homemade and can be shredded, you can shred the corned beef rather than dicing it.
- Place potatoes in a microwave safe bowl or plate and microwave 6-8 minutes or until they are just tender but not falling apart. You should be able to cut them or push a fork into them with some resistance.
- Saute the peppers and onion with a little oil. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste.
- Saute the potatoes in a few tablespoons of oil. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Do not turn the potatoes until they have formed a nice crust on one side.
- Turn the potatoes once a nice crust has formed, repeat until the potatoes have browned on most of the sides.
- Brown the corned beef in a little oil.
- Once all ingredients are cooked, combine and add more salt, pepper and garlic powder as needed.
