Equipment

  • Chopping Board
  • Knife
  • Frying Pan
  • Spatula

Ingredients

Metric - US Customary
  • 700 g White Potatoes (e.g. Maris Piper), peeled and diced into 2-3cm cubes
  • 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Onion peeled and finely chopped
  • 1 Garlic Clove peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 340 g Can of Corned Beef chopped into cubes
  • 4 Eggs
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • ¼ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Parsley chopped

Instructions

  • Place the diced potatoes in a large pan of salted water and bring to the boil. Cook for 6-8 minutes until the potato cubes are tender and cooked (test with a sharp knife). Drain the potatoes in a colander and set aside to steam dry.
  • Heat the oil in large frying pan and cook the onion and garlic over a medium heat until soft and translucent. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce.
  • Turn the heat up to medium high and add the potatoes, diced corned beef, and press down with a spatular or potato masher so you have one layer. Cook for 5 minutes until crispy. Use a spatula to turn the hash over in segments and cook for a further 3 minutes.
  • Make 4 wells in the frying pan using a spoon, and break an egg into each well. Place a lid over the pan and cook the hash for a further 3-4 minutes until the egg is cooked (runny yolk is best!). Season with salt and pepper before serving (and sprinkle with chopped parsley if you like).
    💡 Pro Tip: If you don't have a lid for your frying pan, just pop the pan under the grill for a minute to ensure the eggs are cooked on top.

Notes

Expert Tips:
  • Season the water you cook the potatoes in very well. This will ensure the dish is well seasoned.
  • Make sure the potatoes are completely dry before adding them to the frying pan, to ensure they crisp up nicely. You'll need to let them steam dry in a colander for at least 5 minutes!
  • Use a non stick frying pan or cast iron skillet to cook the hash.
 
Variations:
  • Try using diced sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes.
