Corned Beef Hash - Bon Appetit

By á-46

This recipe is a two-step process, but nothing about it is difficult. Start by cooking the beef the day before (if you also want to have it for dinner that night, just double the recipe). It’s chilled overnight, becoming even more flavorful. The next day, shred the cooked corned beef and throw the hash together, then bask in your accomplishment.

Ingredients

• HASH
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus more for serving
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
• 4 large eggs
• Chopped fresh chives (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1

Remove corned beef from cooking liquid and shred enough to measure 2 cups (reserve any remaining corned beef for sandwiches or snacking).
Preheat oven to 200°.

Thinly slice cooked onion and cut cooked potato into ½” pieces; toss in a large bowl with corned beef and ¼ cup parsley. Moisten with cooking liquid if mixture is dry; season with salt and pepper.


Heat 2 Tbsp. butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add ½ of corned beef mixture and press into a pancake. Cook undisturbed until underside is brown and crisp, 6–8 minutes.

Set a plate over pan and carefully invert pancake onto plate; slide back into pan, pressing back into shape if needed. Cook until second side is brown and crisp, 6–8 minutes.

Transfer hash to a rimmed baking sheet (it may break up a little), tent with foil, and keep warm in oven until ready to serve. Repeat with remaining butter and corned beef mixture.


Meanwhile, bring 2” water to a boil in a large saucepan; reduce heat to a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Crack an egg into a small bowl and gently slide egg into water. Repeat with remaining eggs, waiting until whites are opaque before adding the next (about 30 seconds apart).

Poach until whites are set and yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs as they are done to paper towels.

Serve eggs over hash, seasoned with salt and pepper and topped with chives and more parsley.
DO AHEAD: Eggs can be poached 2 hours ahead; place in a bowl of ice water and chill. Reheat in barely simmering water 1 minute just before serving.
