Recipe tips

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