Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound yukon gold potatoes, diced into ½-inch pieces
- fine sea salt
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 small red bell pepper, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups cooked corned beef, diced (about ½-inch pieces)
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- optional toppings: fried or poached eggs, chopped fresh parsley and/or scallions, whole-grain dijon mustard, hot sauce
Instructions
- Place the diced potatoes in a saucepan and cover with cold water by 1 inch; generously season with salt.
- Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 5–6 minutes until the potatoes are barely tender; drain and let steam-dry for a couple of minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted.
- Add onion and red bell pepper; cook for 5–6 minutes until softened and caramelized, then add garlic and cook for 2 more minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the parboiled potatoes and diced corned beef; season with black pepper and smoked paprika, mixing gently before pressing into an even layer.
- Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes until a golden crust forms, then flip sections and press back into a layer, repeating until deeply browned and crispy, about 15–20 minutes total.
- Taste and season if necessary, then serve hot with optional toppings like herbs or eggs.
Notes
Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables or spices to suit your taste.
Leftover corned beef works great for this dish; just ensure it’s diced evenly for uniform cooking.
This dish can be topped with a fried or poached egg for added protein.
