Recipe tips

• The smaller you dice potatoes, the quicker they cook.
• If cutting potatoes ahead, soak them water to prevent discoloring. Then drain and towel-dry before sautéing.
• Don't add the corned beef to the hash skillet until the potatoes and onions are fully cooked. This prevents overcooking the corned beef and keeps it juicy and tender.
• Since corned beef is salt-cured, you may not need to add salt to this recipe. Instead, offer it on the side as an option for guests.
