Instructions
- 1Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly browned. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- 2Add the shredded corned beef, garlic powder, and black pepper to the skillet with the potatoes and onions. Mix well, breaking up any large pieces of corned beef. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 3Remove the mixture from the heat and allow it to cool slightly. Form the hash mixture into 4-6 patties (about 1/2 inch thick and 3-4 inches in diameter).
- 4Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- 5While the patties are cooking, bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer. Add the white vinegar. Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl or ramekin first, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer for a firmer yolk.
- 6Remove poached eggs with a slotted spoon and drain any excess water. Serve each corned beef hash patty immediately, topped with a poached egg and a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use leftover corned beef from a St. Patrick's Day dinner?
Yes, this recipe is perfect for using up leftover cooked corned beef. Simply shred or dice it before adding to the potato mixture.
How do I get the hash patties extra crispy?
Ensure your skillet is hot and don't overcrowd it. Cook the patties in batches if necessary to allow proper browning. A cast iron skillet works wonderfully for achieving maximum crispiness.
What's the best way to poach eggs perfectly?
Use very fresh eggs, add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the simmering water (it helps the whites set), and gently slide the egg into the water from a shallow bowl. Don't let the water boil vigorously, just a gentle simmer.
