Instructions

1
Heat vegetable oil and butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 5-7 minutes, until softened and translucent.
2
Add the diced potatoes to the skillet. Spread them in a single layer if possible and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and starting to brown and crisp up.
3
Stir in the diced corned beef, salt, and black pepper. Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes, pressing the mixture down occasionally to encourage browning and crisping. Flip sections of the hash to ensure even crispiness.
4
While the hash is finishing, prepare the poached eggs. Fill a medium pot with about 3-4 inches of water and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar. Carefully crack each egg into a separate small bowl or ramekin.
5
Gently slide each egg into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain excess water.
6
Divide the crispy corned beef hash among four plates. Top each serving with a freshly poached egg and serve immediately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh corned beef instead of leftover?

Yes, you can. You'll need to cook and dice it first. For best flavor, boiling or slow-cooking the corned beef until tender is recommended before dicing it for the hash.

How do I ensure the hash gets crispy?

Use a heavy-bottomed skillet and don't overcrowd the pan. Allow the potatoes and then the entire hash mixture to cook undisturbed for several minutes before stirring or flipping. This allows a crust to form on the bottom.

Can I fry the eggs instead of poaching them?

Absolutely! Fried eggs, sunny-side up or over easy, would be a delicious alternative and pair wonderfully with the hash.
