- 2 cups chopped corned beef
- 3–4 cups diced potatoes (preferably Yukon Gold)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon oil (canola or grapeseed)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1–2 tablespoons vinegar (for par-cooking potatoes)
- Par-cook the diced potatoes in acidulated water (water with vinegar) for about 5-10 minutes. Drain well and let cool for at least 15 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and caramelized, about 5 minutes.
- Remove onions and add par-cooked potatoes to the skillet, pressing them into an even layer. Cook until they have a golden crust, about 5-7 minutes per side.
- Add the corned beef to the skillet, combine with potatoes and onions. Cook until the corned beef is warmed through and slightly crispy on the edges.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
Notes
- For extra flavor, consider adding bell peppers, carrots, or herbs such as parsley and thyme.
- Achieving a crispy texture requires patience – ensure each layer cooks undisturbed for several minutes.
- Consider using a mixture of butter and neutral oil to avoid burning.
- Feel free to experiment with spices like cayenne or red pepper flakes for a spicier version.
