Corned Beef Hash and Eggs is an easy Irish-American one pot breakfast recipe made in under 30 minutes for 2 people. This is the perfect way to use up leftover corned beef after St. Patrick’s Day, too!
Do you have leftover corned beef from St. Patrick’s Day? Want to use up the last little bit? What better way then to make an easy Corned Beef Hash and Eggs skillet. I almost always make homemade corned beef hash or my Sweet Potato Corned Beef Hash with my leftovers. This recipe comes together even quicker thanks to Simply Potatoes. They are fresh (never frozen) potatoes that come from farm to table to fork. So with just a few ingredients this breakfast skillet is put together in no time!
Ingredients
- Bacon Fat – The key to my corned beef hash is using bacon fat. I always keep a jar in my refrigerator and use it to enhance flavors for a meal.
- Leeks – I love using leeks when I can. They lend a mild onion flavor.
- Corned Beef – Cooked leftover corned beef is all you need.
- Diced Potatoes – In order to make this a quick cooking breakfast I like to use refrigerated pre-cooked diced Simply Potatoes
- Carrots – I will use some of my leftover carrots from my corned beef and cabbage dinner in my skillet.
- Spices – Dried dill, smoke paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Eggs – Since this is a breakfast for two I only used two eggs, but you can use more.
Directions
- Melt bacon fat in a cast iron skillet. Then, add in the leaks. Cook on medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes.
- Preheat broiler on high.
- Add corned beef, carrots, and potatoes. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes. Mix again then add in the dill and smoked paprika. Mix and cook for an additional 5 minutes (mixing every other minute to prevent burning/sticking).
- Once the broiler is preheated, make two holes in the skillet. Add a teaspoon of oil to each hole then add an egg to each hole. Place cast iron skillet under the broiler for at least one minute or until the eggs are done to your liking.
- Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Divided evenly among plates. Enjoy.
FAQs
The best way to spruce up corned beef hash is by adding fresh herbs like dill, sauteed leeks, or even caramelized onions.
This recipe yields enough for two large adult portions. However, you could stretch this corned beef hash recipe to up to 4 adults by adding additional eggs.
Absolutely, if you can not or do not have the refrigerated pre-cooked potatoes you can use fresh potatoes. This will of course add more time to the cooking process. Boil the diced potatoes on high for 10-15 minutes until just tender.
