About This Recipe
Corned Beef Hash is the leftover after St. Patrick’s Day Corned Beef. This hash is special – lots of little potatoes are fried until very crisp and combined with tender onions and garlic and salty corned beef. It’s best served with lots of mustard and beer.
Hash is traditionally the way to use leftovers, and many people disparage it, but I think it’s better than the original corned beef. There’s something about the combination of salty and tangy corned beef with potatoes that are crisp on the outside and meltingly tender on the inside that is just fabulous.
Make sure that you use or refrigerate the corned beef you cooked for the holiday within four days; after that it can be frozen for a couple of months.
Serve this recipe for Corned Beef Hash with a green salad tossed with sliced bell peppers for some crunch, and some grape tomatoes for sweetness. For dessert, make my Chocolate Peanut Butter Loaf Cake for the perfect finishing touch.
Tips for the best Corned Beef Hash:
- You can’t really mess up this simple recipe. Just make sure you cook the onions until they are tender, then cook the potatoes and corned beef until crisp. Oh, and make sure that you refrigerate both the corned beef and onions after you have finished the dinner on St. Patrick’s Day.
Why this recipe works:
- Potatoes that have been cooked and cooled are the best choice for fried potatoes. The insides don’t have to get tender before the outsides are crisp and golden, so you don’t get a tough potato or burned skin.
- Meat that has been cooked and cooled also has more flavor. This seems to be especially true with corned or cured meats.
- Lots of mustard is essential with this recipe. The potatoes and onions are mild, and the corned beef salty. Some tangy mustard is the perfect way to add more flavor to this recipe.
