“I purposely cook a whole corned beef just to make hash,” says recipe submitter Debra Steward. “There’s nothing like the taste of fresh versus canned hash. This is also good for leftover St. Paddy’s Day corned beef. I throw the carrot in for color, claiming it’s the Leprechaun’s gold. Serve with fried eggs and brown soda bread (farls).”
