How to make Corned Beef Hash

tray of corned beef hash

Hash is a term for a dish consisting of chopped meat & potatoes. The name 'Hash' comes from the French word Hacher, meaning "to chop". It originated as a way to use up leftovers.

In the UK you can buy Corned Beef in a tin, but in the USA it is known as Brisket, Salt Beef or Bully Beef. This recipe is Rustic, as in the potatoes are Smashed not Mashed.
You can use normal Mashed Potato if you prefer or even Parsnip Mash.

The best potatoes for mash would be Russets or Yukon Golds as they have a higher starch level. But any variety with high starch will work fine.

Corned beef is best used from the refrigerator as it holds together better..
