Old Fashioned Corned Beef Hash

A hearty British classic made all the more special with our Old Fashioned Corned Beef. This dish is the perfect way to bring comforting flavours to the table, with crisp-edged potatoes, soft onions, and rich, tender corned beef at the heart of it.

INGREDIENTS

Place the diced potatoes into a large saucepan of salted water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 8–10 minutes until just tender. Drain well and allow to steam dry.
Heat the beef dripping or butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook gently for 10 minutes until soft and golden.
Increase the heat slightly, then add the potatoes to the pan. Fry for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until crisp and browned at the edges.
Stir in the corned beef and gently fold it through the potatoes and onions. Cook for a further 5 minutes until heated through and beginning to catch and crisp on the bottom.
If using, add the mustard and Worcestershire sauce, seasoning well with black pepper and a little extra salt if needed.
In a separate pan, fry the eggs to your liking. Serve the hash hot, topped with a fried egg and a scattering of chopped parsley.

Hot Tips

Let the potatoes steam dry before frying for maximum crispiness.
Don’t stir too often once everything is in the pan — let it catch and crisp a little for the best flavour.
A splash of vinegar (malt or cider) can balance the richness.
