Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 5½ cups shredded russet potatoes, rinsed and squeezed dry (about 2 potatoes) (or frozen, thawed, and patted dry)
  • 2 cups cooked and chopped corned beef (*see note)
  • ½ chopped yellow onion
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ Pepper Jack or Monterey Jack Cheese (plus more for serving)
  • kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1-2 Tbsp sliced green onions, optional garnish
  • ketchup for serving
  • toast for serving

Equipment

  • 9 X 13-inch baking dish or large skillet
  • box grater, or mandoline, or food processor with julienne attachment for hashbrowns
  • 2 flour sack kitchen towels (not terrycloth) (Optional but very handy for a variety of purposes.)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 ℉ (200℃). Lightly butter a 9 by 13-inch (23 by 33 cm) baking dish or a 11-inch (28cm) skillet and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the potatoes, corned beef, onion, butter, and a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  3. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  4. Bake in the oven until the hash is golden brown on the sides and top, 40-45 minutes.
  5. Remove the hash from the oven and sprinkle evenly with the cheese.
  6. Return the baking dish to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted about 8 to 10 minutes.
  7. While the hash bakes, heat a large skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, carefully add the eggs one at a time, season with salt and pepper, and add 2 tablespoons of water to the skillet. Cover and cook for 1½ to 2 minutes, or until the eggs reach your desired doneness.
  8. Remove the baking dish from the oven, sprinkle with green onions, and serve immediately, topping each portion with an egg. Accompany with ketchup and toast. Enjoy!

Notes

Note: To achieve the best flavor, texture, and a healthier dish, I recommend using leftover corned beef brisket from the recipe featured on this blog. By repurposing the brisket, you can ensure a delicious and satisfying meal while minimizing food waste.
