Corned Beef Hash Skillet (Printable)

A hearty skillet blending savory meats, tender potatoes, sautéed vegetables, and perfectly cooked eggs.

# 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

# How-To Steps:

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

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 45 minutes, so you can actually sleep in and still have a proper breakfast.
  • The corned beef does most of the heavy lifting flavor-wise, meaning you're not fussing with complicated seasonings.
  • Those crispy, caramelized edges on the potatoes are honestly better than fries.
02 -
  • Don't add eggs until the very last minute—they cook faster than you think, and there's nothing worse than overcooked whites with chalky yolks.
  • Corned beef varies wildly in saltiness depending on the brand, so taste your seasoning before going full throttle with salt; you can always add more but you can't take it back.
03 -
  • Dice your potatoes into small, uniform pieces so they all cook at the same rate and crisp up together instead of some being mushy and others still hard.
  • Let your corned beef sit at room temperature for a few minutes before adding it so it doesn't cool down your skillet and steam instead of crisp.
