Let’s Make it together
Prep Your Ingredients: Begin by dicing your cooked corned beef into small cubes while peeling and chopping your potatoes into even cubes as well.
Cook the Potatoes: Heat butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes, cook until they’re golden brown on all sides, about 10-15 minutes.
Add Onions and Peppers: Toss in the chopped onions and bell peppers; sauté until soft and aromatic—about 5 minutes is usually enough.
Add Garlic: Stir in minced garlic just before everything turns golden brown; cook until fragrant but be careful not to burn it.
Add Corned Beef: Fold in the diced corned beef carefully, allowing it to heat through while mixing well with veggies; around 5 more minutes should do.
Season and Serve: Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed; serve hot with fresh parsley sprinkled on top for that gourmet touch.
Now you have a hearty plate of delicious corned beef hash ready to impress anyone lucky enough to share it with you. Enjoy every crispy bite as you reminisce about those unforgettable brunch moments.
