Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Substitute with vegetable oil for dairy-free.)
- 3 cups Russet Potatoes, diced (Yukon Gold can be used for creaminess.)
- 1 medium Onion, diced (Shallots can be substituted.)
- 1 medium Red Bell Pepper, diced (Green bell pepper for a more bitter taste.)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced (Powdered garlic is a suitable substitution.)
- 1 teaspoon Salt (Adjust to taste.)
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper (Switch to white or cayenne pepper for spice.)
- 2 cups Corned Beef, diced (Use leftover or deli-sliced for convenience.)
- 4 large Eggs (Can be substituted with scrambled eggs.)
Instructions
- Prepare the Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt completely.
- Cook Vegetables and Potatoes: Add the diced russet potatoes, onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic to the skillet. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir to combine all ingredients well.
- Sauté Until Crispy and Tender: Cook the mixture for about 30 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes to prevent sticking and to ensure even browning. Continue until the potatoes are tender inside and crispy on the outside.
- Add Corned Beef: Stir in the diced corned beef and continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the beef to heat through and develop flavor throughout.
- Prepare Eggs: Crack the eggs into separate small bowls for easy transfer. Make space around each egg in the skillet by shifting some hash aside.
- Cook Eggs Over Easy: Gently pour the eggs into the skillet spaces. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the eggs for 4-6 minutes until the whites are fully set but yolks remain runny.
- Serve Immediately: Plate the corned beef hash topped with the over easy eggs. Optionally garnish with fresh parsley for added color and freshness.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute unsalted butter with vegetable or olive oil.
- Yukon Gold potatoes give a creamier texture, while russet potatoes provide a crispier finish.
- If you prefer spicier hash, add cayenne pepper or use green bell peppers for a slightly bitter edge.
- Scrambled eggs can be used instead of over easy eggs for easier preparation.
- Leftover cooked corned beef can be used to save time without sacrificing flavor.
- Serve with a side of toast or fresh fruit for a complete brunch meal.
