Curried corned beef hash

Corned beef is a much-loved staple that has featured in comforting family food for generations. Here, I present an amazing curried corned beef hash, which boasts all the flavour you'd expect from the classic dish, plus an extra spicy kick.

It's an ingredient packed with nostalgic memories for many of us, so Princes Corned Beef invited me to team up with my lovely mum, Maeve to bring you our twist on a classic: curried corned beef hash.

I have great memories of cooking with my mum and being creative with spices to add a new dimension to simple, traditional meals, and we still cook together to this day, so we've really relished the opportunity to show you how we cook together!

Now, let’s make this really tasty, fun dish. Scroll on for the full curried corned beef hash recipe.

Instructions

Put the diced potatoes in a large saucepan of boiling water, bring to the boil then simmer for 3 minutes until almost cooked. Drain.

Melt 20g (0.7 oz) of butter in a heavy-bottomed non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. 

Add the chopped onions, curry powder and green chilli. Fry for 2-3 minutes until soft.

Grab your can of corned beef - it's easiest to work with if you store it in the fridge for a few hours before using - and dice.

Add a little more butter if the pan looks dry, then add the corned beef and fry until the colour deepens. Tip the mix on to a paper towel to drain.

Heat 20g (0.7 oz) of butter in the pan.

Add the parboiled potato to the pan. Fry until golden.

Add the corned beef mix back into the pan and fry briefly until warmed through. 

Share between two dishes. 

Wipe your pan and fry two eggs until just cooked (use a little oil if needed). Place the eggs on top of the hash.

Optionally, add a scattering of coriander and a squeeze of lime and serve immediately. Enjoy!
