Corned Beef Hash is the most popular recipe for using up your leftover corned beef. And for good reason! First of all, you don’t have to wait until lunch or dinner to dig into that savory corned beef again. You can have it first thing in the morning with some potatoes, eggs and dare I say, a cup of Irish Coffee?  

I utilized all the shortcuts I could think of when it came to making this Corned Beef Hash recipe. Because let’s face it, after cooking up a storm for St. Patrick’s Day, the last thing I want to do the next morning is make a big extravagant breakfast. Luckily, this corned beef hash recipe is soooo easy to make while still tasting like a gourmet, restaurant-style breakfast.

The number one shortcut I used when making this corned beef hash is buying frozen diced Potatoes O’Brien. The potatoes are already diced into the perfect shape and they include a mix of onions and bell peppers. This saves so much time on chopping fresh veggies and decreases the cook time dramatically.

Using leftover corned beef adds to the ease of this recipe as well. Since the corned beef is already precooked, you simply have to dice it up and throw it in a skillet to heat through. You’ll then mix it in with the potatoes O’Brien you made earlier creating a skillet-full of mouthwatering, homemade Corned Beef Hash.

So, if you’ve been wondering what to do with your leftover corned beef, then this Corned Beef Hash recipe is for you. Don’t forget to top each serving off with a protein-filled fried egg for a complete breakfast the whole family will love. Read on to see the full recipe!
