What makes this skillet so special is the interplay of textures and flavors built up in layers. The Yukon Gold potatoes develop a lovely golden crust while staying creamy inside. The corned beef crisps up beautifully at the edges, adding a salty, smoky depth enhanced by a touch of smoked paprika. The onion and bell pepper soften into the hash, offering sweetness and color, while the garlic provides a quiet but essential backbone. Then come the eggs—cracked gently into shallow wells pressed into the hash and steamed to silky perfection under a lid. A final scatter of fresh parsley brings brightness to every bite. This is comfort food done right.

Instructions

Step 1 – Cook the potatoes

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly golden and just tender, about 10–12 minutes.

Step 2 – Sauté the vegetables

Add the remaining olive oil and butter. Stir in the onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté until softened, about 4 minutes.

Step 3 – Add the corned beef

Increase heat to medium-high. Add the diced corned beef. Sprinkle with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until corned beef is crispy and hash is well combined, about 5–6 minutes.

Step 4 – Make wells for the eggs

With a spoon, make 4 shallow wells in the hash. Crack an egg into each well.

Step 5 – Cook the eggs

Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover the skillet and cook until eggs are set to your liking, 5–7 minutes for runny yolks.

Step 6 – Garnish and serve

Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Achte darauf, die Kartoffeln zu Beginn wirklich ausreichend goldbraun zu braten, bevor du weiterfährst—diese knusprige Schicht ist entscheidend für die Textur des gesamten Gerichts. Verwende eine große Pfanne aus Gusseisen oder eine beschichtete Pfanne, damit der Hash gleichmäßig bräunt und nicht anklebt. Der Deckel in Schritt 5 ist unverzichtbar: Er hält den Dampf in der Pfanne und gart die Eier sanft, ohne die Unterseite des Hashs zu verbrennen. Für besonders aromatisches Ergebnis kannst du vor dem Servieren einen Spritzer Hot Sauce oder etwas geriebenen Cheddar über den Skillet streuen.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Dieses Rezept lässt sich leicht an deinen Geschmack oder die vorhandenen Zutaten anpassen. Anstelle von Yukon-Gold-Kartoffeln kannst du Russet- oder rote Kartoffeln verwenden—beide funktionieren hervorragend im Hash. Für eine leichtere Variante eignen sich Süßkartoffeln besonders gut, oder du gibst eine Handvoll frischen Spinat in die Pfanne, kurz bevor du die Eier aufschlägst. Wer es käsig mag, streut vor dem Abdecken der Pfanne etwas Cheddar über den Hash.

Serviervorschläge

Dieser Corned Beef Hash Skillet schmeckt am besten frisch aus der Pfanne, direkt am Tisch serviert. Reiche ihn mit geröstetem Brot oder frischem Obst als Beilage—beides ergänzt das herzhafte Gericht wunderbar. Ein heißer Kaffee oder frisch gepresster Orangensaft runden das Frühstück perfekt ab. Da das Rezept 4 Portionen ergibt, eignet es sich ideal für ein entspanntes Familienfrühstück oder einen gemütlichen Brunch mit Freunden.
