A hearty and comforting breakfast recipe featuring tender corned beef, crispy potatoes, and eggs cooked to your preference, all made effortlessly in a crockpot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 ounces corned beef, diced or shredded
  • 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
  • 1 small red or green bell pepper, diced (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup beef broth (120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 large eggs, cooked to preference
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • A handful fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the russet potatoes into ½-inch cubes. Chop the onion and dice the bell pepper. Mince the garlic cloves.
  2. Add the diced potatoes, onion, bell pepper, garlic, and corned beef to the crockpot. Pour in ½ cup beef broth. Sprinkle smoked paprika, salt, and pepper over the top. Stir gently to combine without breaking the potatoes.
  3. Set crockpot to low and cook for 6-7 hours, stirring gently once or twice to prevent sticking. Alternatively, cook on high for 3-4 hours, watching closely.
  4. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the hash to a large skillet. Add butter and cook over medium-high heat, pressing the hash into the pan. Cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy on the bottom. Flip sections and crisp the other side for another 5 minutes.
  5. While potatoes crisp, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add butter or oil and fry eggs to your preference (sunny side up recommended).
  6. Serve the crispy corned beef hash hot, topped with eggs and sprinkled with fresh parsley.

Notes

Do not skip the skillet crisping step for best texture. Stir gently to keep potato chunks intact. Adjust salt carefully as corned beef is salty. Cook eggs last to keep fresh and warm. For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil or plant-based spread. Parboiling potatoes before slow cooking can reduce cooking time and improve crispiness.
