Chef John's Corned Beef Hash

Chef John's Corned Beef Hash

When I cook corned beef and watch it simmer in the aromatic broth, I’ll sometimes close my eyes and picture the delicious plate of food I have coming. The funny thing is, it’s not the sliced corned beef and cabbage I’m dreaming of; it’s the diner-style corned beef hash recipe I’m going to make with the leftovers. Garnish with green onions and a poached egg.

Prep Time:
15 mins
Cook Time:
35 mins
Total Time:
50 mins
Servings:
4

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 1 ½ pounds cooked corned beef, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch green onions, chopped
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup roasted tomato salsa

Directions

Step 1
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until almost tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and finely chop.

Step 2
Cook beef in a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat until fat begins to render. Stir green onions, salt, and pepper into beef. Add garlic and butter; cook and stir until butter is melted and garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Step 3
Stir potatoes, salsa, and a pinch of salt into beef mixture. Pat mixture down in the skillet with a spatula and divide hash into 4 sections.

Step 4
Cook, without stirring, until a crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip sections and cook until a crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes more. Repeat cooking and flipping process, flipping every 5 minutes, until hash stays together and has a golden crust, 10 to 15 minutes.

    The flavor is out of this world good, and I used baby red potatoes because I like to leave them unpeeled. The fire roasted salsa adds a delicious but subtle Southwestern flavor, and instead of poached egg I topped the hash with more salsa and some sour cream. I had trouble flipping the hash in pieces so I did the best I could and just cooked it until it was crisp in pieces. Delicious!!

    • 10 years ago

    This was extremely tasty. I used white onion (I had one on hand) and garnished with a little cilantro. Worth the time making a corned beef brisket just for this.

    • 10 years ago

    Excellent!!! After my first attempt making corned beef, which was delicious, I wanted to transform the leftovers into something different and found this recipe that was unrated at the time but looked intriguing. I watched the video and book marked it in anticipation for our weekend brunch even though I am not a fan of hash like my hubby is. While I was preparing to make it I realized I forgot to buy the roasted tomato salsa, but I decided to make it anyway and it was absolutely scrumptious. I am now converted to a corned beef hash lover and look forward to making it again to include the secret ingredient. Thank you Chef John for this easy recipe!

    • 10 years ago

    Take a while to make, but absolutely worth it!

    • 10 years ago

    This is really good even though I had trouble getting the crust to develop.

    • 10 years ago

    Perfect corned beef hash. I have made hash before and liked it, but the salsa was the perfect touch. We loved this. The key ingredient is patience. It really takes a long time to get the crust right but it is definitely is worth the time and effort. Thanks Chef John

    • 10 years ago

    I have never made hash of any kind before, and thought this was very good! I used leftover sliced corned venison for this (no fat at all) so did not cook it before adding the potatoes, onions, etc. the salsa added a nice touch and we had it for brunch, both hubby and I like it very much. thanks!

    • 10 years ago

    This was ok to me. A sunnyside egg dropped on top added some extra flavor it needed.

    • 10 years ago

    For the most part I followed the recipe, the only thing I did different was I cooked the corned beef brisket in the slow cooker for a day and a half, but that was more for my benefit. I love the smell in my house and also it made chopping it easier, it just falls apart. I have never cooked corned beef so I never dreamed I could make corned beef hash. The recipe is simple and tasty! Huge success. And it freezes well, this makes a lot for two people to eat so we froze most of it. We just take it out and put it in the fridge the night before then pop it in the microwave. Yumm! Great Recipe!

    • 10 years ago

    Very Good! I had some left over roast beef that I needed to use up and went looking for a hash recipe. My mom made it for us many years ago to use up roast beef (and probably lamb or other roasts) and I recall her grinding the cooked meat but I just chopped it up. I used olive oil and regular onion as that was what I had. I didn’t have the proper salsa but served it with ketchup like my mom did. Delish!! It brought back good memories, too. Thank you for the recipe. Next time I’ll try it with the salsa.

    I just made this and it is the best corned beef hash ever! Excellent recipe!

    • 9 years ago

    It was ok, but I still like the canned stuff better. Oh well, it was nice to use up some of the corned beef left over.

    • 9 years ago

    I added a yam and a golden to the mix and it was great!!!

    • 9 years ago

    We loved this recipe! I did have to adjust the amount of potatoes that I put in only because the corned beef was very fatty and so I eliminate some of it leaving less corn beef. This is very very good! I wish it was easier for me to find corn beef!!!!

    • 9 years ago

    we made corned beef for St Patricks day. First time. My husband was looking forward to corned beef hash from it. This was great. I normally don’t care for hash but this was very good.

    • 9 years ago

    The only thing I changed was to use regular medium salsa. It was yummy!! I used red potatoes and left over corned beef from St. Patrick’s Day. Great breakfast for dinner. I said it in another review. Chef John really is my go to!

    • 9 years ago

    I was not sure I would like the salsa, but it was great! What a terrific recipe.

    • 9 years ago

    Was wonderful, didn’t change a thing! Definitely use a cast iron skillet!

    • 9 years ago

    I tried this with some left-over corned beef to see if my husband would eat it. He only likes corned beef hash from a can, so he thought. We both loved it! I will make this from now on.

    • 9 years ago

    Just made it this morning. I added a couple of chopped jalape?os for an extra kick. it was delicious with an egg on top!

    • 9 years ago

    Great recipe! Delicious! So much better than the canned stuff. I learned how to make poached eggs just for this dish. First time I ever ate poached eggs. The combination was perfect.

    • 9 years ago

    very tasty

    • 8 years ago

    cooked all of it in bacon fat and it was absolutely delicious. be patient you really want that good crust on the hash it adds an amazing texture. I added a fried egg to the top and a few slices of bacon on the side for a large and amazing Brinner. Forget that canned this is worth the minimal work for an incredible result.

    • 8 years ago

    Great winter’s day evening meal. Family inhaled. Egg on top is right for flavor and looks. Onions and salsa were just right kick in flavor. Easy to make, even while watching football.

    • 8 years ago

    5 stars not even served with an egg on top. My 9-year old boy asked for the second serving and then the 3 serving. I did start out with cooking my own corned beef in a pressure cooker too.

    • 8 years ago

    EXCELLENT!!

    • 8 years ago

    I made this recipe without the tomato salsa and it was delicious! I think you need to use a cast iron skillet to get a good crust on your hash.

    • 8 years ago

    I followed his recipe exactly and it turned out amazing! I made too much in a too small skillet so it was hard to crisp it up but the flavor with the salsa was perfect. A great Christmas morning brunch option.

    • 8 years ago

    LOVE ITT!

    • 7 years ago

    Husband LOVED IT!! I made in my beloved cast iron, BEAUTIFUL crispy “crust” and served with a couple of poached eggs………

    • 7 years ago

    I used left over corned beef from St. Patricks Day dinner. I admit I was a little skeptical of the salsa in this recipe but since it was Chef John I went with it. Topped with 2 eggs sunny side up. It turned out great!

    • 7 years ago

    I made this as written and it was delicious! Will definitely make again soon

    • 7 years ago

    Added some chopped jalapeno and onion and a dash of garlic power!

    • 7 years ago

    we will make it again yanmmy yummy.

    • 7 years ago

    I made this with leftover corned beef from St Patrick’s Day. The salsa made it! I also added some thyme and parsley. I was short on time so didn’t cook long enough to get the crust, but was still delish!

    • 7 years ago

    I Wondered. What the heck is the big deal about corned beef hash? Well, now I know. Chopped up the leftover corned beef, potatoes, carrots and onions from the crockpot corned beef dinner. Added everything in recipe except green onions. Didn’t have them. The salsa gives it spice, but you can’t tell it’s from salsa. Perfect. Had it for breakfast next morning with sunny side up eggs on top. Yummy!

    • 7 years ago

    Made this recipe and my whole family loved it!

    • 7 years ago

    The only thing I did different was, I used three large fresh potatoes, I dimed them along with 2/3 of a large white onion. Sauteed in olive oil until brown and crispy, and mixed everything else as follows the same as the recipe. Delish!

    • 7 years ago

    LOVE IT!!! I chop up the corn beef really fine. I also use canned diced potatoes,
    I now will be corn beef just to make this!

    • 7 years ago

    Yes will make again. Really liked this. No changes made

    • 7 years ago

    Turned out really nice despite using the canned corned beef

    • 6 years ago

    I have always avoided making Corned Beef Hash due to memories of my Mom using my Grandmother’s meat grinder!
    I knew what we would be having for dinner!
    I like the fact of not using a grinder, bite size pieces instead are much better; to me anyway!
    This is very good. I didn’t have any salsa, but I did add some caraway seeds and a small amount of white cheddar.
    Everyone enjoyed it including me!

    • 6 years ago

    I made it but the beef was very chewy…I wonder it that because I left it in pan for too long.

    • 6 years ago

    OMG! Salsa in corned beef hash? GENIUS! I will never be able to eat any other. I had leftover corned beef and potatoes from a couple of days ago. A bunch of people on Facebook were talking about what to do with the leftovers, and someone mentioned making hash. I have never made it from scratch, even though it is my favorite at breakfast. If I had known it was this easy and this delicious, I would have been making it long ago! Thank you, Chef John!

    • 6 years ago

    I enjoyed this recipe as well. I made it as written.

    A chef many years ago told me of another way to dress it
    up a bit. He suggested making a slurry of Brown Sugar,
    Dijon and Orange Juice. Very tasty as I recall!

    • 6 years ago

    I did corned beef 2 ways this year. Although Chef John?s recipe was excellent, my guests preferred the braised/baked corned beef. If I only made Chef John?s, I would have gave it 5 stars.

    • 6 years ago

    my fault I cooked it to long but still was tasty

    • 6 years ago

    Made this the day after st Patrick?s day with left over corned beef . Loved it. We poached a duck edd on top. Made it over the top delicious.

    • 6 years ago

    Sooooo good. I?ll never buy the canned stuff again. Made it exactly as written.

    • 6 years ago

    Great recipes, easy and delicious. Must try!

    • 6 years ago

    I made it for breakfast on March 18th with leftovers and it was delicious. Well worth trying

    • 6 years ago

    Following your directions (basically),which by the way you have made easy to do so, I successfully cooked for the first time,,, but no stranger to the kitchen, corned hash. The timing of the of the poached egg was spot on. I had to be patient, I have a tendency to over sample, waiting for the hash to crisp and it’s worth waiting for. I am a big fan of the way you cook. Thanks for the recipes, I can’t wait to try even more.

    • 6 years ago

    Great recipe, made as stated.

    • 6 years ago

    Pretty good. I used regular salsa.

    • 6 years ago

    Love this recipe, cannot say how many times I make this! My hubby loves it!!

    • 6 years ago

    So I made it without the salsa and with loads more onion. I just didn?t have the nerve to add the salsa. Does it make the hash taste salsa-ish?? Salsa is tomatoes – sure, onions – def, peppers – really??, cumin – ok, really not sure about this, and cilantro – def not for everyone. Was it just enough that you could really taste it? Like mustard in coleslaw? Or could you tell there was salsa in it?

    • 5 years ago

    I made no changes. It was exactly as we hoped it would be…the perfect, corned beef hash with NO exotic herbs or spices to take away from the flavor of the key ingredients. The green onions were a perfect replacement for the yellow onions I’m used to having in this recipe. PERFECT!

    • 5 years ago

    Amazing as always!! I always learn something interesting from Chef John?s videos. From the browning technique to where the term ?hash? actually comes from. I always wondered by it was called hash.

    • 5 years ago

    Mine didn?t turn out that well I might try again however the family liked it

    • 4 years ago

    Salsa adds the kick I wanted!!

    • 4 years ago

    As we head into the land of sheltering in place and making do with what you have, I came looking for ideas on what to do with some leftover corned beef. This came out delicious! Adding salsa is what kicked it up a notch. So I did have to make substitutions based on available ingredients. Instead of green onions I added some chopped shallots instead. Also I added spicy salsa verde as the salsa since that was what I had.

    • 4 years ago

    This was really good. I followed the directions except I used up a few leftover baked potatoes I had on hand, which made this a very fast and easy meal. I had mine with a couple of poached eggs on top, and a slice of Ciabatta toast. This was a great way to use up my leftover Corned beef brisket. I will definitely make it again.

    • 4 years ago

    Loved Chef John?s CB Hash! I didn?t have green onion so substituted with Vidalia onion (1/2 c). I topped it all off with Hollandaise Sauce over the egg. Delicious!

    • 4 years ago

    OUTSTANDING!! What else is three to say.

    • 4 years ago

    Love it. I Smoke my own corned beef so this was a logical extension for me. I followed the recipe exactly and it was great.

    • 4 years ago

    I was so happy to find a recipe for “Beef hash”. Great taste with these ingredients.

    • 3 years ago

    Been trying to make a good corned beef hash for a long time. This recipe pretty much nailed it. I really like Chef John?s recipes. I hope she?d leftover corned beef. Put half it in the Nutribullet And finely diced the other half. Smashed the potatoes.

    • 3 years ago

    I’m not much of a cook but this was pretty easy for me I loved it

    • 2 years ago

    Excellent. I did it without the salsa and added an egg to the top.

    • 2 years ago

    Great use of St. Paddy’s Day leftovers!

    • 2 years ago

    Did not come out as I would have liked. Will need to try again

    • 1 year ago

    Salsa in corned beef hash? What a distinctly American melting pot idea! Brilliant! I usually generously season my hash with ketchup. Not so with this recipe. The subtle tang imparted by the salsa is so good. Chef, thanks for yet another winner.

    • 1 year ago

    This is so good! It is worth taking the time to make corned beef just to make this dish. I made as written and would not change a thing. I was quite skeptical of the salsa but it was a delicious addition. I only wish I had topped with a pinch of cayenne. I can’t wait to find corned beef on sale again just to make some more hash. Thanks, Chef John!

    • 11 months ago

    Another winner Chef John. I was a little reluctant to add salsa but I did and it was delicious ??
