Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces cooked corned beef brisket, chopped
  • 2 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (plus 1 tablespoon for crisping)
  • Olive oil (for crisping potatoes)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice Yukon gold potatoes into roughly ½-inch cubes. Chop the yellow onion finely. Toss the potatoes with a pinch of salt and set aside.
  2. In the slow cooker, combine chopped cooked corned beef, diced potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika (if using), Worcestershire sauce, and melted butter or olive oil. Stir to combine.
  3. Cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours until potatoes are tender but still hold their shape. Add a splash of water or broth if the mixture looks dry halfway through cooking.
  4. Carefully transfer the hash mixture to a large skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of butter and a drizzle of olive oil. Cook without stirring for 4-5 minutes to crisp the bottom, then gently flip sections to crisp the other side.
  5. In a separate pan, fry or poach the eggs to your liking, preferably sunny side up with runny yolks.
  6. Serve the crispy corned beef hash topped with eggs and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Add extra black pepper and flaky sea salt if desired.

Notes

Do not skip the crisping step in the skillet to get the perfect crunchy texture. Use cooked corned beef for best tenderness. Prep ingredients the night before to save time but keep potatoes separate to avoid browning. Reheat leftovers in a skillet with butter or oil to restore crispiness; avoid microwaving.
