Although corned beef hash is generally considered a traditionally British recipe (particularly the version using tinned corned beef), there are lots of different versions of corned beef hash out there.
There’s this one that I’m sharing with you today, with cubes of potato that I believe, has influence from the USA. Although in the USA, they generally wouldn’t use tinned corned beef. Instead this would be made using finely chopped pieces of US-style corned beef (which is made from salt-cured or salt-brined beef brisket). Then there’s the more North-West England version with mashed potato – fried up with the onion and corned beef. Some people like to flatten out the mashed potato version and top with cheese, then place under a grill/broiler (which I think might be an Irish addition). Then of course there’s the corned beef hash soup version. This was the version I grew up with, and I thought everyone knew about it. But I think it might be one my dad simply made up!
Have you tried any of these versions? Which one’s your favourite? 👩🍳PRO TIP If you don’t want to peel, chop and boil potatoes, then tinned potatoes work really well in this recipe. Such a comforting fill-your-belly dish. I love this kind of simple, nostalgic food – even more so given that it’s pretty economical too.
