The magic of this recipe lies in its layers of texture and flavor. The potatoes are given time to develop a light golden crust before the aromatics join them in the pan, filling the kitchen with the irresistible scent of softening onion and garlic. Then comes the corned beef, seasoned with smoked paprika, black pepper, and kosher salt, sizzling until gloriously crispy at the edges. Finally, four eggs are nestled into shallow wells in the hash and gently cooked under a lid until the whites are set and the yolks are still rich and runny—ready to meld with everything beneath them the moment you dig in.

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 aromatics

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

Step 3 – Crisp 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 the egg wells

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

Damit das Corned Beef Hash Breakfast Skillet besonders gut gelingt, empfiehlt es sich, die Kartoffeln nicht zu häufig umzurühren – so entwickeln sie eine schöne goldene Kruste. Verwende am besten eine gusseiserne Pfanne oder eine beschichtete Pfanne, die gleichmäßig Hitze speichert. Achte darauf, die Eier erst dann hinzuzufügen, wenn das Hash vollständig gebräunt ist, damit der Boden nicht zu feucht wird. Decke die Pfanne fest ab, wenn du die Eier garst, damit der Dampf die Oberfläche der Eier gleichmäßig gart. Für noch mehr Geschmack kann vor dem Servieren ein Hauch Tabasco oder eine Prise Cheddar über das fertige Gericht gegeben werden.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Dieses Rezept lässt sich vielfältig abwandeln. Statt Yukon-Gold-Kartoffeln können russet oder rote Kartoffeln verwendet werden. Wer eine leichtere Variante bevorzugt, kann Süßkartoffeln einsetzen oder frischen Spinat in das Hash einarbeiten. Das Corned Beef lässt sich durch andere gegarte Fleischsorten ersetzen, sofern keine Gluten-Empfindlichkeit vorliegt und alle Zutaten entsprechend geprüft werden. Für eine vollständig glutenfreie Version muss zertifiziertes glutenfreies Corned Beef verwendet werden, da herkömmliches Corned Beef Senf oder Weizen enthalten kann.

Serviervorschläge

Das Corned Beef Hash Breakfast Skillet wird am besten direkt aus der Pfanne serviert, während es noch heiß und dampfend ist. Als Beilage eignen sich geröstetes Brot oder frisches Obst, um das herzhafte Frühstück abzurunden. Ein frisch gebrühter Kaffee oder frisch gepresster Orangensaft ergänzen dieses Gericht perfekt. Für ein Brunch-Setting kann das Skillet auf dem Tisch in der Pfanne präsentiert werden, damit jeder direkt serviert werden kann. Zum Abschluss mit extra frischer Petersilie garnieren und sofort genießen.
