Let’s Make it together
Preparation Time: Start by washing and peeling about three medium potatoes. Dice them into small cubes for even cooking.
Sautéing the Vegetables: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add some oil. Toss in diced onions and bell peppers until they soften—about 4-5 minutes.
Add Potatoes: Stir in your diced potatoes along with minced garlic. Season generously with salt, pepper, and paprika while keeping an eye on those sizzling beauties. Cook until golden brown.
Corned Beef Time: Now for the star player: add your canned corned beef. Break it apart gently with a spatula as you stir everything together; let those flavors mingle for about 5 minutes.
Crisp It Up: Press down on the mixture slightly to form a crust—let it cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes before flipping. This gives you that delightful crunch.
Add Eggs (optional): If you like eggs on top, create small wells in your hash mixture and crack an egg into each well. Cover until cooked as desired.
Remember to taste as you go along; adjust seasonings based on your preference. Your kitchen should now smell heavenly.
Enjoy every bite of this wonderful corned beef hash—it’s perfect for lazy weekends or whenever you crave something warm and satisfying.
