Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Peel and dice the russet potatoes into ½-inch cubes; rinse and pat dry for crispier texture.

  2. 2

    Heat 2 tbsp canola oil and 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8–10 minutes until golden and starting to soften.

  3. 3

    Add diced yellow onion and a pinch of salt; reduce heat to medium and sauté for 3–4 minutes until onions are translucent.

  4. 4

    Stir in corned beef, remaining butter, salt, and black pepper. Continue cooking at medium heat, pressing down occasionally, for another 6–8 minutes until the hash is browned and crispy underneath. Do not stir constantly to allow a crust to form.

  5. 5

    In a separate saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Add eggs (one at a time) and poach for 3–4 minutes for runny yolks. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  6. 6

    Serve the hash in plates, top with poached eggs, and sprinkle chopped parsley for garnish. Enjoy immediately while hot.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?
The star ingredient is corned beef, which provides the signature savory flavor and rich texture that defines this hash. It pairs perfectly with crispy potatoes and eggs to create that classic diner taste.
Q. How do you ensure crispy hash without burning?
To achieve a crisp hash, cook the potatoes in hot oil and butter until golden, then add corned beef and press the mixture down in the pan. Avoid stirring too often; let a crust develop, and control heat so the bottom crisps but doesn’t burn.
Q. How can you prevent the eggs from overcooking when poaching?
Poach eggs in water at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil. Using a timer, cook each egg for 3–4 minutes for runny yolks and remove with a slotted spoon to stop the cooking immediately.
Q. What is the nutritional breakdown per serving?
Each serving contains about 640 kcal, 42g carbs (26%), 29g protein (18%), and 37g fat (52%). This makes it a high-calorie, high-fat breakfast best enjoyed as a hearty Sunday treat.
Q. Which seasoning brings the biggest flavor difference?
Black pepper and salt are essential to balance the richness, but fresh parsley added at the end brightens the overall flavor and adds a touch of freshness to the dish.
