04 - Add drained potatoes to skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 6–8 minutes until golden and crisp.
05 - Stir in diced corned beef. Spread mixture evenly and press down lightly. Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes to develop crispy bottom.

07 - Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.
08 - In a separate pan, fry eggs to your liking and serve on top of the hash.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between crispy edges and tender interior creates perfect texture in every bite
  • It turns ordinary leftovers into a breakfast that feels like you are eating at a classic American diner
  • The whole house fills with an incredible aroma that makes waking up early feel worth it
02 -
  • Parcooking the potatoes is nonnegotiable if you want tender interiors and properly crisped exteriors
  • Pressing the mixture down and walking away for a few minutes is the secret to getting that diner style crust
  • Resist the urge to stir constantly, some undisturbed cooking time is essential for texture
03 -
  • Cooked corned beef from a deli counter works perfectly, and the slightly firmer texture actually crisps up better than homemade
  • Letting the hash sit undisturbed is the critical step that transforms it from potato and meat into actual hash
