Ingredients
Yield: 4 servings
- 1 pound Yukon Gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch pieces
- fine sea salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked corned beef, diced (about ½-inch pieces)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- optional toppings: fried or poached eggs, chopped fresh parsley and/or scallions, whole-grain Dijon mustard, hot sauce
Method
Parboil the potatoes. Tip in the diced potatoes to a saucepan and cover with cold water by about 1 inch. Salt generously with salt. Raise to a boil, then reduce heat and let it bubble gently for 5–6 minutes, just until the potatoes are barely tender and still hold their shape. Tip off well and let steam-dry for a minute or two.
Warm the skillet. Melt the butter and olive oil together in a large cast-iron or heavy skillet over a medium burner.
Leave the vegetables. Tip in the onion and red bell pepper. Leave for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and lightly caramelized. Tip in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant.
Tip in the parboiled potatoes and diced corned beef to the skillet. Salt with black pepper and smoked paprika. Turn gently to combine, then press the mixture into an even layer.
Let it crisp. Leave undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until a deep golden crust forms on the bottom. Flip sections of the hash (rather than stirring) and press back into an even layer. Repeat this process 2–3 more times, cooking for 15–20 minutes total, until the hash is deeply browned and crispy in spots.
Finish and serve. Check the seasoning and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as needed. Scatter with herbs if using, serve hot with eggs or your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
