Corned beef hash is an American-Irish recipe that originated in the 1800s. While enjoyed year-round, this side dish is typically served with eggs and made most often on holidays like St. Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.
Tips for Beginners
- Cut the potatoes into similar sizes so they cook evenly.
- Try using different herbs and spices such as rosemary, oregano, or smoked paprika for a little bit of heat.
- Add pre-cooked corned beef to the recipe in step 6, and cook until it’s warmed through.

How to Store
Store leftover corned beef hash in an airtight container and keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it up in a skillet with a bit of oil or butter. You can also microwave it until warm.
Leftover corned beef hash can be stored in the freezer up to 3 months. Thaw it before reheating. Potatoes may change texture when frozen and reheated, but small cubes like this are usually fine.
Serving Suggestions
Top your corned beef hash with any style of eggs you like. For a classic diner-style breakfast hash, serve with toast and coffee. I like using rye bread, sourdough, or beer bread, then slathering it with creamy butter. If you need a gluten-free option, these gluten-free biscuits are perfect.
