Corned beef: Diced, cooked corned beef adds a rich, salty flavor to the dish.

Potatoes: Diced, cooked potatoes provide a hearty base and crispy texture.

Onion: Chopped onion adds sweetness and depth of flavor.

Butter: Used for cooking the onions and adding richness to the dish.

Salt: Enhances the overall flavor of the corned beef hash.

Black pepper: Adds a touch of heat and balances the flavors.

To achieve a perfectly crispy corned beef hash, make sure to spread the mixture evenly in the skillet and let it cook undisturbed for a few minutes before stirring. This allows the potatoes and corned beef to develop a golden-brown crust.

• Allow the corned beef hash to cool completely before storing. This helps prevent condensation, which can make the dish soggy.
• Transfer the cooled corned beef hash into an airtight container. For best results, use a container that is just the right size to minimize air exposure.
• Label the container with the date of preparation. This will help you keep track of how long it has been stored.
• Store the container in the refrigerator if you plan to consume the corned beef hash within 3-4 days. Ensure the refrigerator is set to a temperature of 40°F (4°C) or below.
• For longer storage, consider freezing the corned beef hash. Place the hash in a freezer-safe container or a resealable freezer bag. Squeeze out as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn.
• Label the container or bag with the date of freezing. The corned beef hash can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
