Savory skillet combining crispy corned beef, golden potatoes, sautéed veggies, and cooked eggs for a hearty start.

# What you'll need:

→ Meats

01 - 12 oz cooked corned beef, diced

→ Vegetables

02 - 1 lb Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
03 - 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
04 - 1 green bell pepper, diced
05 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
06 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

→ Dairy

07 - 4 large eggs
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

→ Pantry

09 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
10 - 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
11 - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
12 - 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

# Method:

01 - In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and just tender, about 10-12 minutes.
02 - Add the remaining olive oil and butter. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 4 minutes.
03 - Increase heat to medium-high. Add the diced corned beef. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until corned beef is crispy and hash is well combined, about 5-6 minutes.
04 - With a spoon, make 4 shallow wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well.
05 - Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and cook until eggs are set to your liking, 5-7 minutes for runny yolks.
06 - Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 40 minutes, making it perfect for weekends when you want something special without the fuss.
  • The crispy edges and soft egg yolks create this textural contrast that feels indulgent but honestly just tastes like home.
  • One skillet means minimal cleanup, which means you actually get to enjoy your breakfast instead of standing at the sink.
02 -
  • The secret to crispy hash is not stirring constantly; let each component develop some color and texture before folding everything together, otherwise you'll end up with a mushy mixture.
  • Corned beef straight from the can or deli container should be diced and added only after the potatoes and vegetables are already in progress, because it's already fully cooked and needs just enough time to crisp up the edges.
  • Don't skip the paprika; it's subtle but essential for evoking that classic breakfast diner flavor that makes people feel like they're eating something special.
03 -
  • If you're cooking for a crowd, you can prepare everything up to the point of cracking the eggs, then finish with eggs as people arrive so everyone gets them at the right temperature.
  • Leftover hash reheats beautifully in the skillet over gentle heat with a lid on; add the egg fresh the second time around rather than trying to resurrect a cooked one.
  • Keep your potato pieces uniform in size so they cook at the same rate; uneven pieces mean some are mushy while others are still firm.
