Cooking steps
  1. 1

    Peel and dice the potatoes into 1/2-inch cubes. Rinse and pat them dry with a kitchen towel.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, then add the diced potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until starting to brown and become tender.

  3. 3

    Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes more over medium heat, stirring frequently to ensure even caramelization without burning.

  4. 4

    Increase heat to medium-high, add the remaining oil, and fold in diced corned beef. Press the mixture into an even layer and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to crisp the bottom.

  5. 5

    Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Flip sections of the hash to crisp the other side for 2-3 minutes, then sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

Personalized Q&A
Q. What's the key ingredient that defines corned beef hash?
The defining ingredient is cooked corned beef. Its distinct savory flavor and meaty texture give the hash its signature taste, complemented by the crispy potatoes and caramelized onions.
Q. What cooking steps help achieve a crispy hash?
Cooking the diced potatoes first until lightly browned, then spreading the hash into an even layer and letting it cook undisturbed on medium-high heat helps form a golden, crispy crust on the bottom before flipping.
Q. How do you prevent soggy potatoes in the hash?
Patting the diced potatoes dry before cooking removes excess moisture, and using medium heat ensures they're browned without becoming mushy. Avoid overcrowding the pan for optimal crispiness.

Each 210g serving contains about 280 kcal, with 16g protein (23% of calories), 23g carbs (33%), and 13g fat (44%). This offers a satisfying protein-to-carb balance.
