Corned Beef Hash Ingredients?
Ingredients needed to make a corned beef hash. You will need an onion, garlic, paprika, worcestershire sauce, a tin of corned beef, new potatoes (or tinned potatoes), onions, and eggs.
Canned corned beef is cooked and ready to eat straight from the can. However, we think it tastes so much better when fried.
How to cook?
We will guide you through how to cook corned beef hash with our step by step recipe card. Check out the video below to see how easy it is and continue reading for more help.
First things first, if using new potatoes, cube them and steam or parboil them for 7 minutes. To save time use a can of potatoes, which will not need parboiling first.
In this case, we add garlic and paprika to the fried onions, followed by Worcestershire sauce.
Try experimenting with other flavourings instead. Such as fresh sliced chillies, mixed herbs or hot sauce?
Add par-cooked potatoes and a generous amount of salt & pepper into the dish
Mix potatoes and onions together, allowing to fry for a few minutes, before adding the tin of corned beef in.
Open the can of corned beef and cut into rough cubes. It is soft and crumbly so don't worry too much about neatness!
Use the back of a spatula to flatten the corned beef and potatoes together, after 6-8 minutes turn over in sections and flatten with the spatula again. Cook for a further 6-8 minutes.
When it comes to cooking the egg in a corned beef hash, you have two options, depending on if you like a runny or firm yolk? See below and cook to your prefered method.
Firm egg yolk
Make 4 well holes in the meat & potatoes, and crack an egg in each hole.
Place in the oven for 10 minutes to finish browning off the corned beef hash and to cook the egg.
All done perfectly cooked with a firm yolk and ready to serve!
Runny yolk egg
If you prefer egg with a runny yolk, you are better off frying your egg in a frying pan or poaching.
Once the corned beef hash is cooked, serve a fried egg up on top of the corned beef hash.
Serving Suggestions
Wondering what to serve with corned beef hash? Well, this one-pot dish is a meal on its own. But if you wanted to make it feed more people, try serving it with baked beans or some fresh baked bread.
Or have a corned beef hash with some vegetables, like cabbage, carrots or broccoli?
A delicious quick British family meal enjoyed by the whole all, including the kids.
Tuck in!
We used our trusty cast iron dish for this recipe, highly recommended. Due to its ability to be used straight from hob to oven, no messing!

History of Corned Beef Hash?
Corned Beef Hash dates back to the 14th Century in the UK, but it really kicked off as a good storecupboard meal during World War II.
Food was rationed, making it hard to find meat. So canned corned beef became a very handy source of protein.

Just had this. Used tinned potatoes for speed and it was lovely. Made one small change by using frozen sofrito mix instead of just onion. Definitely on the menu from now on.😋

Growing up in England I have fond memories of my Mum and Dad enjoying corned beef and hash for a lazy Sunday brunch. My brother and I were so young that we had usually been fed and were off playing when they finally sat down with this meal. As yesterday would have been my Mum’s 76th birthday (we lost her just before Christmas) I decided this was the perfect brunch for today. I’ve never had corned beef before, so I wasn’t sure how/if I would enjoy it. I have to say it turned out marvellously. I didn’t have onions, so I substituted red and green peppers and mushrooms. I also topped the final product off with some grated marble cheese (how my late Dad enjoyed it!). All in all it was a wonderful recipe that my spouse and I will enjoy many times in our future! Thank you! I look forward to discovering more recipes from my childhood on this page!

Growing up in England I remember my parents enjoying this meal for a lazy Sunday brunch often. I don’t believe I ever tried it because being so young my brother and I would often eat early and be outside playing while they had their time together.
Yesterday would have been my Mum’s 76th birthday, sadly we lost her just before Christmas. So in honour of her, and my late Dad I decided to try my hand at corned beef and hash. Your recipe was perfect. I didn’t have any onions, so I substituted green and red peppers and some mushrooms. The rest of the recipe was perfect, and I topped it off with some grated marble cheese (how my Dad used to love it). Thank you for this recipe. It brought back so many wonderful childhood memories with the smell and sight alone.

I don't class myself as particularly good at cooking, I pretty much throw things at my pan and see what sticks (lol), but this was simple to follow and delicious! Can't believe how well it turned out despite my improvisations. Thanks so much for sharing and being very clear in your recipe; lovely and easy to follow. It warms me knowing I'm having a bit of British history eating it to boot. Good way to remember those who sacrificed so much for us.
