Corned Beef, Potato and Egg Hash

The perfect use for all those St. Patty’s Day leftovers, this Corned Beef Hash is packed full of healthy vegetables, bits of potato, and perfectly baked eggs.

Late last week I got a head start on my Irish cooking with a slow cooked stew of corned beef, carrots and cabbage (my favorite). Growing up, and even now as an adult, this is a meal I could always count on my dad cooking at least every St. Patty’s Day. It is a family favorite.

This year, keeping with tradition, I made my own stew. Yes, a couple weeks early (ahh, the life and cooking schedule of a food blogger), but it’s early arrival did not distract from its tastiness.

The previous two years that I made this meal Octavian could not get the corned beef in his mouth fast enough. It was hilarious and a little frightening all at the same time. Keeping this in mind, I decided to make extra this year.

Well, my child no longer likes corned beef.

With so much leftover meat on our hands I decided to get creative with the leftovers. Corned beef is delicious plain, but equally good repurposed in other meals. Today I have a super easy corned beef hash (with cauliflower!)- because we all know I love my cauliflower.

Perfect for a special weekend breakfast or brunch or delicious for dinner, this special corned beef hash is one of my new favorite ways to use up leftover corned beef. I cut back on the carbs and added more veggies by adding an entire cauliflower to the hash, along with red and green bell peppers. The seasoning in the dish is simple, but the flavor is definitely not lacking 🙂
