Recipe tips
- Since this recipe uses fully cooked corned beef, be careful to not overcook it, which keeps it juicy and tender for skillet hash.
- Corned beef is naturally salty, which is why this recipe doesn't call for salt. Of course, you can add salt to taste, if desired.
- Is this recipe gluten free? Corned beef hash is gluten free as long as you use certified gluten free corned beef.
Recipe variations
- When using raw potatoes, prevent discoloring by soaking them in cold water after chopping. Just be sure to drain thoroughly before sautéing.
- Add a handful of chopped carrots, celery, or bell peppers while the onions are sauteing for or even more flavor, texture, and nutrition.
