Ingredients

• 340 g (12 oz) cooked corned beef, diced
• 500 g (1 lb) Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)

Instructions

Step 1

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and just tender, about 10–12 minutes.

Step 2

Add the remaining olive oil and butter. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 4 minutes.

Step 3

Increase heat to medium-high. Add the diced corned beef. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until corned beef is crispy and hash is well combined, about 5–6 minutes.

Step 4

With a spoon, make 4 shallow wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well.

Step 5

Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and cook until eggs are set to your liking, 5–7 minutes for runny yolks.

Step 6

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

For extra flavor, add a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of cheddar cheese before serving. Make sure to use a lid when cooking the eggs to ensure the whites set properly while keeping the yolks runny.
