Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked corned beef brisket, diced
  • 3 medium russet potatoes (about 1 ½ pounds), peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • Eggs for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Rinse under cold water to remove excess starch, then pat completely dry.
  2. Optional: Parboil the diced potatoes in salted water for 5–7 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain and allow them to steam dry.
  3. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat and add the oil or butter.
  4. Spread the potatoes in a single layer in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until a golden crust forms, then flip and continue cooking until crispy and tender.
  5. Add the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until softened.
  6. Stir in the diced corned beef, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper. Mix gently and press the mixture evenly into the skillet.
  7. Cook undisturbed for another 5–7 minutes to develop a crispy crust on the bottom.
  8. Season with salt if needed and garnish with chopped parsley.
  9. Serve hot, topped with fried or poached eggs if desired.

Notes

  • Dry the potatoes thoroughly to ensure maximum crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for the best golden crust.
  • Avoid stirring too often to allow proper browning.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
