Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons butter divided
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 4 cups potatoes diced (about 4 medium russets)
  • 2 cups cooked corned beef chopped
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt adjust based on saltiness of your corned beef
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: 4 eggs for serving

Method
 

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until they begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add diced potatoes to the skillet, stir to combine with onions. Cover the skillet and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until potatoes begin to soften and develop some color.
  3. Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Increase heat to medium-high and continue cooking the potatoes uncovered, stirring occasionally, until they become crispy and golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Add the chopped corned beef, beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, pepper, and salt to the skillet. Stir to combine all ingredients.
  5. Press the mixture down with a spatula and cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until a crust forms on the bottom.
  6. Gently flip portions of the hash, allowing new areas to crisp up for another 4-5 minutes.
  7. If desired, create 4 small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until eggs reach desired doneness, about 3-4 minutes for runny yolks.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving hot.
