Crispy potatoes sautéed with peppers, onions and corned beef in 30 minutes. Topped with fried eggs and you have the most delicious corned beef hash for breakfast or brunch!
I first had corned beef hash at a diner many years ago and then occasionally ordered it if I went out for breakfast. Unfortunately, most of the dishes had mushy potatoes and tiny pieces of corned beef.
I knew there was a better way to make corned beef hash!
Why this recipe works
In this recipe we're using leftover corned beef from St. Patrick's Day. If you're like me and love corned beef hash, you might want to cook corned beef just to make this hash for breakfast because it's that good.
This recipe has three main components: potatoes, corned beef, and a mixture of peppers and onions.
Each of these components are cooked separately and then tossed together in the end which prevents the potatoes from steaming and allows them to stay crispy.
The potatoes are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and the corned beef is cubed so you can taste the tenderness. The addition of peppers, onions, garlic powder, and paprika bring this dish together.
Serve with fried eggs with the whites just set and the yolks runny to create a kind of sauce...beyond good!
