Corned Beef Hash

Yes that's the way I make it

My Corned Beef Hash is meant to be quick and cheap. Just mash potatoes with a bit of butter and an egg. Mash up a large tin of Corned Beef and add to the potatoes, then using a large frying pan smooth out to cover the bottom. When golden brown flip over and cook the other side.

I’ve never eaten corned beef hash.

Might give it a go, but isn’t corned beef a bit “fatty”?

Yes, it can be. I don’t eat it any longer……….after finding what looked suspiciously like a cows eyelash embedded in it🤮

You can hide a thread you don't want to see, Menopauselbitch

It's available in the options on the mobile site, if that helps.

Don’t read the posts then

I boil potatoes and chopped carrots in stock until soft . Add diced corned beef and mix but not to a purée . season ….. simple! Serve with baked beans … yumm !!!!

We had an old yacht and sailed for our holidays. In bad weather my corned beef hash was as follows. Slice an onion up and fry. Then use pressure cooker for safety and add 1 tin potatoes. 1 tin carrots, sweetcorn , celery water drained off Add 1 tin c beef cut up a little. Add gravy and I always had herbs and some marmite to the mix. Lid on and pressurised. That was so it didn't spill . 5 minutes and ready. Served in bowl. Hot and comfort food. We called it a boat dinner and any time you feel ill or with no idea on a cold day ,that is a go to, with only tins to open and not much to wash up! Of course you don't need the pressure cooker on dry land!

We use a pressure cooker to cook our hash. Potatoes, onions and any veg you want or have odds and ends of. Oxo cubes or Bovril. Plus brown sauce to serve.
Thanks for the reminder. Filling for a hard working GS

Corned beef pie is very popular in South Wales ….all the supermarkets sell it.

My mum used to make corned beef pie and so did I. It was lovely. Very tasty. I don't eat red meat now and haven't done for a few years. The filling was corned beef hash I suppose. Cubed potatoes, chopped onions, fried together until cooked, then add cubed corned beef for the last few minutes to heat through. For the pie I would add about 1/4 pint of gravy mixed in and make it with shortcrust pastry. Never heard of making it with green peppers and I hate chilli, but if you like them, go for it!

My Mum’s recipe…

Gently fry onions, when cooked add corned beef, soften and warm through. Add a good squirt of tomato ketchup and a dash of Worcester sauce, pepper, (no need for salt as there is enough in the corned beef). Add either frozen sweetcorn or baked beans as is your preference, mashed potato on top (works so much nicer than the usual cubed potato). Top with grated cheese and put in the oven until nicely browned. DH woofs it down

I haven't made it for ages, but my recipe is as follows:

Chop and fry a large onion with some chopped mushrooms, if liked. Add chopped fresh tomatoes or halved cherry tomatoes and cook until the juice has run out and there is a sauce. Mash in a tin of CB, and a dash of Worcester Sauce. Season well. I add a small tin or a handful of frozen sweetcorn at this stage, but that is optional, as are the mushrooms. Set aside.

Meanwhile, slice and boil potatoes, and drain when cooked. Allow to cool a bit (until they can be handled without burning yourself).

Layer the potato slices and CB sauce in an ovenproof dish, and add grated cheese to the layers. Finish with a layer of potatoes topped with cheese.

Bake until the cheese is browned.

Pretty much all of this is customisable. As the potatoes are already cooked you really just need to heat it all through, but it tastes better if you have time to cook it for a long time on a low heat. It is also good after sitting in the fridge overnight and reheated (microwave is fine). It is also possible to cook it on the hob in a shallow dish or deep frying pan and brown the cheese topping under the grill when the rest is done.

I forgot the Worcester Sauce - dh definitely wouldn't.

My mother made this often.
1 tin of corned beef
1 large onion and about six medium potatoes.
Fry onions until brown. But in large bowl. Boil potatoes until soft, drain and add to onions.
Open tin of corned beef
Mash all together, then fry until brown.
Eat with peas and tomato sauce ( 1950)

Hi, all,

I have an alternate recipe if anyone is interested. Cooked mashed Potatoes, a tin of Plum Tomatoes, a Tin of Corned Beef and one oxo cube. Cheese for topping if desired. Cooked/reheated in a Microwave.

In a Pyrex Dish add the sliced Corned Beef and mash with a fork to make level in the dish. Add the crumbled oxo. Add the Plum tomatoes, slicing through them and arrange around dish, add a small amount of tomato liquid.
Put lid on and heat in microwave for 3 minutes. Add Mashed potato and Cheese if using. Reheat for 2 minutes.
Delicious alone - or put vegetables on to cook before making the Hash!
Enjoy!

Years ago when my children were small, I often made (New England) Red flannel hash.
It was from Carriers kitchen recipe magazine .
One of the ingredients is Beetroot.
I remember it was very tasty meal.
I've just done quick Google and the recipe and similar are on there .

Thanks OP , I will now make have a walk down memory lane and add some beetroot and corn beef to my shopping list.

Par boiled potatoes cut into pieces.
I large brown onion cut into pieces not to small. Fry together until browned and cooked through. Cube corned beef from the fridge so it holds together a bit.
Finally stir in or serve with baked beans.

Ooh, thanks for reminding me of this, I haven’t made it for ages, and dh loves it.

I just boil some potatoes, let them cool and cube them. Fry them with plenty of chopped onion in just a very little oil. Add the cubed corned beef to heat through, plus when nearly all ready, stir in plenty of just-cooked green cabbage, chopped up. S&P to taste.

I make a very similar thing with the remains of a piece of gammon, cubed.

Similar to yours Witzend, except that I throw in frozen peas, not cabbage.
Easy!

My mother made corned beef hash as follows. Boil potatoes ams mash them with a bit of butter, cut corned beef into cubes and stir into the mashed potatoes. She sometimes boiled carrots with the potatoes and mashed them together. Served with cabbage. I don't remember having gravy with it.
I don't make it as DH isn't keen.

Same as Laura except that I cook it in the oven like shepherd’s pie.

Mashed potato, onion, corned beef.
Mash together make in to large patties, toss in bread crumbs and fry each side.
Serve with a fried egg.
Yum

Omg, no gravy, no liquid, it’s not supposed to be wet! And no vegetables, it’s not supposed to be healthy!
Just cubed potatoes, cubed corned beef, fry together until potatoes are getting crunchy.

I can't stand corned beef hash so, every now and then, dh makes his mum's recipe.

Fry diced onion and green pepper add parboiled diced potatoes fry together. Add diced, tinned corned beef and fry together. Top with fried eggs. Maybe serve with baked beans.

No gravy involved at all.

This is like the recipe used at Sam’s Chophouse, a rather special bar in Manc city centre.
