Corned Beef Hash is a hearty breakfast or brunch made in a skillet with corned beef, potatoes, sauteed onions, and garlic. If you love corned beef, make your own with this perfect Corned Beef recipe!
Corned Beef Hash
Corned Beef Hash is usually considered a breakfast food, many times with fried eggs added to the top. If you wanted to add eggs to this, go for it! But, this hash is delicious on its own, as-is, with the meat and potatoes. It could definitely be enjoyed for any meal of the day if you ask me!
Hash Ingredients
Corned Beef: Look for cooked corned beef hash. You could get some thicker slices from your local deli or use canned corned beef, which is also already cooked.
Potatoes: For hash, I prefer waxy potatoes like Yukon gold potatoes.
Onions: A common ingredient in corned beef hash recipes is onions; I used a yellow onion.
What is Corned Beef Hash?
Hash is generally a dish made with meat, potatoes, and onions fried in a pan. The word hash comes from the French word ‘hacher’, which means to chop. Hash is a great way to use up leftover ingredients from veggies to meat and can be made with almost anything you have on hand.
Besides this classic corned beef hash recipe, I also have a Kielbasa Breakfast Hash and Pulled Pork Hash that you might love.
How to Prepare the Potatoes
I boiled the cubed potatoes before adding them to the skillet. This made the potatoes on the softer side. You could boil them for less time for a firmer potato in the hash. If you want crispier potatoes, you could pan-fry them first. Or, you could even roast the potatoes in the oven.
Can I Use Frozen Potatoes?
Sure! If you want to use frozen potatoes or hashbrowns, those would work fine in this recipe (and save you some prep time). Just follow the package instructions when cooking the potatoes.
Variations to Corned Beef Hash
This simple recipe can easily be adapted to make it with your favorite ingredients. Here are some options:
- If you don’t have any corned beef, try another meat like pastrami or roast beef.
- Add vegetables like mushrooms, bell peppers, carrots, or your favorite vegetables.
- Top the hash with some shredded cheese.
- Use a different kind of potato. Russet and sweet potatoes would both work!

Easy to make, delicious to eat
If you grate raw potatoes you avoid having to preboil them. You can also use leftover mashed potatoes.
When you state “cook” the hash, fry (medium flame), bake (temp)? I am assuming fry??
Please advise, Thank you
Hi Brian – starting in step #3 you are working with ingredients in a skillet over heat. So when you get to step #6 where it says “cook”, you are still in the skillet over heat.
Great recipe! We loved it. How long will this keep in the fridge?
Nice recipe but consider adding some diced red bell pepper. It really adds to the presentation!
