Corned beef hash recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 large russet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil (divided)

- ¾ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder

- Stir in the onions and cook for another 3-5 minutes, or until they turn translucent. Add the minced garlic, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika, then cook for 1-2 more minutes to enhance the flavors.
- Add the cooked corned beef to the skillet along with an additional 1-2 tablespoons of oil. Stir everything together and cook for 10-12 minutes until the corned beef is fully warmed through.

Notes
- This recipe calls for pre-cooked corned beef brisket. To prepare it, slow-cook a 3 lb corned beef brisket on LOW for 9 hours, covering it with water or broth and seasoning it with the included spice packet. Once done, shred or cube the meat. This should yield about 4-5 cups.
- If you don’t have cooked brisket, canned corned beef can be used instead. You’ll need approximately three cans.
- Corned beef tends to be quite salty, so additional salt is not necessary.
