Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked corned beef chopped (store-bought or homemade)
- 4 medium potatoes peeled and diced (about 2 cups), or use frozen hash browns!
- 1 medium onion diced
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil olive oil works too
- 2 tablespoons butter for rich flavor
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 eggs optional, for sunny side up or poached on top
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep Your Potatoes: First up, we’ll want those potatoes prepped and ready to roll! Dice your potatoes into small cubes—this makes them cook evenly. If you’re using frozen hash browns, you can skip this step. Just grab them from the freezer and you’re good to go!
- Cook the Potatoes: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once it’s nice and hot, toss in your diced potatoes and sprinkle with a little salt. Let them sizzle for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent any burning!
- Add Onions: Time to bring in the flavor! Add the diced onion to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the onions become soft and translucent, mingling their goodness with the potatoes.
- Mix in the Corned Beef: Now, here’s where the magic really happens! Toss in the chopped corned beef and mix everything together. Let it cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the beef to heat through and soak up those tasty flavors.
- Finish It Off: If you’re feeling fancy, make four little wells in the mixture and crack an egg into each one. Cover the skillet and let it cook until the eggs reach your preferred doneness (about 5 minutes should do it for eggs that are slightly runny). If you want them fully cooked, just give them a couple more minutes!
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for that pop of color. Now, take a step back and admire your creation before digging in. Serve it hot and enjoy every single bite!
