Corned Beef Hash from Scratch

Ingredients

  • 2lbs cooked corned beef brisket
  • 1lb small potatoes
  • 6 poblano peppers
  • 1/2 large onion
  • 2 Tbsp butter 
  • Salt and cracked black pepper
  • *Pictured with homemade chimichurri sauce and quail eggs.

Instructions 

  • Cut the poblano peppers stem to end, open and remove the stem and center vein with all the seeds(don’t forget to use gloves!). Place the peppers on a baking sheet and roast them in the oven at 375 degrees F for about 35-40 minutes.  After cooked, remove and allow to cool then cut the peppers into squares.
  • Fill a medium sized pot with water, bring to a boil and place the potatoes in.  Salt the water. Cook for 15 minutes, until fork tender.  Strain and place potatoes aside to cool.  After cooled, dice into small squares. 
  • With your hands, shred the cooked corned beef brisket into different sized chunks, up to 1 inch pieces.
  • Heat a large skillet and melt 1 Tbsp of butter, add the chopped onion and sauté until beginning to become translucent. 
  • Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet and add the potatoes.  Cook on medium and allow them enough time for them to brown and get crispy.   
  • After the potatoes have a nice golden brown color, add the beef and poblano peppers.  As instructed above, allow enough time for some crisping action to happen before you stir and move things around. 
  • Salt and cracked black pepper to taste.
  • Garnish with cilantro leaves and fresh slices of jalapeño. Optional: Add eggs and chimichurri sauce to bring the whole dish together.
