Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups russet potatoes, peeled and diced (about 300g)
  • 1 can (12 oz/340g) canned corned beef, diced or crumbled
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped (about 150g)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (28g)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (30ml)
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (5ml)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste (start with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (8g, for garnish)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter or oil (14g, for frying eggs)
  • Pinch of salt and pepper (for eggs)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Finely chop onion and mince garlic. Toss potatoes, onion, and garlic in a mixing bowl with salt and pepper.
  2. Optional: Soak diced potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry for extra crispiness.
  3. Heat a large skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high heat. Add butter and vegetable oil, swirling to coat the pan.
  4. Add potato mixture to the skillet in an even layer. Press down lightly with a spatula and cook undisturbed for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the bottom.
  5. Scatter diced corned beef over potatoes. Gently fold once, then press down. Sprinkle apple cider vinegar over the top. Cook for another 5-6 minutes, pressing occasionally for crisp edges.
  6. Reduce heat to medium. Cover skillet with lid or foil and steam for 4-5 minutes to cook potatoes through.
  7. Remove lid and increase heat to medium-high. Cook uncovered for 3-4 minutes, gently pressing and flipping to crisp all sides.
  8. In a separate non-stick pan, melt butter or oil over medium heat. Crack in eggs, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until whites are set and yolks are runny (or to preference).
  9. Spoon crispy hash onto plates, top each with a fried egg, sprinkle with chopped parsley, and serve hot.

Notes

For extra crispy potatoes, soak them in cold water before cooking. Don’t overcrowd the pan—cook in batches if needed. Use leftover cooked potatoes for even more crunch. Swap potatoes for turnips or cauliflower for a low-carb version. Check corned beef labels for gluten-free certification. Fry eggs while hash finishes crisping to save time. Leftovers taste even better the next day.
