This Corned Beef Hash Recipe is the perfect comfort food to make with all those St. Patty’s Day leftovers. A fun and delicious twist on the traditional Irish classic, this yummy potato hash is packed full of nutritious veggies and is perfectly baked with nested eggs to complement the crispy and flavorful potato bits.
What is a corned beef hash, anyway? It’s a popular breakfast or brunch dish in many countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Ireland, made with pan-fried leftover corned beef, diced potatoes, and onions.
My healthier – but just as yummy – twist on the classic corned beef hash recipe calls for the addition of an entire cauliflower and flavorful red and green bell peppers. This creates a delicious and nutritious low(er)-carb recipe. Don’t be fooled by the recipe’s simple seasonings – with chopped onions and five cloves of garlic, the flavor is anything but boring!
Make this incredibly versatile dish anytime you need a cozy weekend breakfast or brunch, or satisfying dinner. The generous portions mean you’ll have more leftovers to keep enjoying throughout the week, making meal prep a breeze.
How to Make Easy Corned Beef Hash:
Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet set over medium-high heat and sauté the onions for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for one more minute before adding the diced bell peppers, salt, and pepper. After 2-3 minutes, add the diced potato and chopped cauliflower and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes while stirring frequently. Finally, stir in the diced corned beef and remove from heat.
Create wells in the hash with a large spoon and crack eggs into them. Sprinkle cheese and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the egg whites are set and no longer translucent.
Garnish with fresh parsley and cracked pepper before serving.
How to Serve
This corned beef hash is a hearty, comforting meal all on its own. That said, sometimes I’ll serve it with toasted bread or buttery English muffins.
Leftovers and Storage
Keep leftovers stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Leftovers may be served cold or reheated in the microwave or in a hot skillet until warmed through.
Serve leftovers in a warm tortilla for an easy on-the-go breakfast loved by the whole family.

How do you seed and dice a green onion? I think that was supposed to be “1 Green Bell Pepper.
