Ingredients

  • 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 2 onions, finely diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and finely diced
  • 1 cup cooked mashed potatoes
  • 4 cups diced Homemade Corned Beef (page 180), or use an equivalent amount of store-bought corned beef
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil.
  • Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, or until soft.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the onions, garlic, and bell pepper and saute for 5 minutes or until soft.
  • Reduce the heat to low, stir in the mashed potatoes, and cook the mixture for a minute or two, or until warmed through.
  • Stir in the diced potatoes, corned beef, parsley, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper.
  • Cook the hash over low heat until it is steaming hot, stirring occasionally.
  • To prepare an individual serving, saute 1 cup hash in a little butter in a nonstick pan until crispy.
  • To serve a group, flip the steaming hot hash over with a metal spatula once a nice brown crust has formed on the bottom.
  • Allow the other side to get nice and crusty, about 5 more minutes.
  • Use a spatula to cut the hash into portions and transfer to individual plates.
  • Serve hot.
