Method
- Prepare the ingredients: Dice your cooked corned beef, potatoes, and onion into a uniform 1/2-inch dice. If using raw potatoes, place diced potatoes in a pot of cold salted water, bring to a boil, and cook for 5-7 minutes until just fork-tender. Drain well and let them cool slightly.
- Heat a large 12-inch cast-iron or non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil. Once shimmering, add the diced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil, the diced potatoes, and the corned beef to the skillet. Gently mix everything together. Add the butter, Worcestershire sauce, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
- Using a spatula, press the mixture down firmly and evenly across the bottom of the pan.
- Reduce heat to medium and cook, undisturbed, for 7-9 minutes. Allow a deep, golden-brown crust to form on the bottom before touching it.
- Use a wide spatula to flip the hash in large sections. Press it down gently again and cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until the other side is browned and crispy.
- Stir in the fresh parsley. Serve hot, topped with a fried or poached egg if desired.

Notes
Tip 1: Dry potatoes are key! After parboiling, make sure your potatoes are very dry. Pat them with a paper towel if needed. Moisture is the enemy of a crispy hash.
Tip 2: Don't skip the cast iron. A cast-iron skillet retains heat exceptionally well, which is essential for creating that perfect, even crust.
Tip 3: Season to taste at the end. Corned beef is already very salty, so it's best to taste the finished hash before adding any extra salt.
