Instructions

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened and translucent.
Add the potatoes, corned beef, carrots, and cabbage to the skillet. Spread the mixture into an even layer. Increase the heat to medium-high and press the mixture lightly with a metal spatula so it makes good contact with the skillet. Cook until the underside is nicely browned and crisp.
Flip sections of the hash and cook until heated through and browned in spots. Try not to break up the potatoes as you turn the mixture. Add a little more butter if the skillet becomes dry.
Remove from the heat and season with salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve warm, optionally topped with fried or poached eggs.

Notes

Potatoes: Using frozen shredded potatoes is a quick and easy addition to this simple hash. If you have leftover potatoes from St. Patrick's Day, chop them into bite-sized pieces before adding to the skillet.
Cabbage: I love cabbage in this dish. Similar to the potatoes, you can always add raw shredded cabbage to the mix in lieu of cooked cabbage.
No leftovers? You can still make this hash by using cooked corned beef (or even deli meat) and frozen hash brown potatoes.
For crispy corned beef hash: Spread the mixture into an even layer and allow it to cook undisturbed for several minutes before turning. This helps the potatoes develop the classic golden, crispy edges that make skillet hash so delicious.
Optionally add eggs: Fried or poached eggs on top make this hash a satisfying breakfast or easy dinner.
Season lightly: Corned beef is naturally salty, so taste before adding additional salt.
