Comfort food to the max - and it can all be done with pantry staples (provided you always have a can of corned beef on hand ;-) ). This is fast and delicious. I don't specify vegetables in cup amounts as I figure each person likes their own version with 'more of this and less of that'. This is how I do it - you can adapt the recipe to your own taste. :-) Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 large potatoes, cooked and cubed |
1 large onion, chopped |
2 garlic cloves, minced (optional) |
1 red pepper, cubed |
1 green pepper, cubed |
1 (12 ounce) can corned beef, cubed |
4 eggs, fried sunny-side-up (poached is also good) |
Directions:
1. Heat the butter and olive oil (or just one kind of fat) over medium-high heat in a large cast-iron or heavy-bottomed skillet.
2. Add potatoes and allow to get golden and crusty on one side (about 2-3 minutes). Gently turn over with a spatula and do this a couple more times to get a golden crust all over.
3. Add onion and garlic and saute with potatoes for 4-5 minutes; then add peppers, sauteeing a couple of minutes more.
4. Finally, add corned beef and cook for 8-10 minutes, always flipping hash over every couple of minutes to ensure a crust develops on all sides. This should take about 20 minutes in all. Adjust seasoning - it won't need too much salt because of the corned beef, but LOTS of freshly ground black pepper is a GOOD thing.
5. You can prepare the eggs in another pan during these steps.
6. Distribute hash mixture amongst 4 plates and top each serving with a fried or poached egg.
7. Season with Hot Sauce at table, to taste.
8. Enjoy!
