Corned Beef Hash With Fried or Poached Egg

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. 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. 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. 3

   Add onion and garlic and saute with potatoes for 4-5 minutes; then add peppers, sauteeing a couple of minutes more.

4. 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. 5

   You can prepare the eggs in another pan during these steps.

6. 6

   Distribute hash mixture amongst 4 plates and top each serving with a fried or poached egg.

7. 7

   Season with Hot Sauce at table, to taste.

8. 8

   Enjoy!
