I would love a recipe for corned beef turned to corned beef hash! Only time I had corned beef from scratch it was horrible! Something surely went wrong and it wasn't on my part, I didn't know how to cook at all at that time.
I've never found a good corned beef recipe for hash, that worked for me. For me, I just treat the corned beef separately from the potatoes. First you have to talk to the potatoes politely.
Chop the potatoes, in small cubes, so there's lots of cube sides to get crunchy. Boil them for 20 minutes in water on the stove, then drain and DRY them. Toss them with butter and olive oil, salt, pepper, and bake at 350 to 400 degrees F for an hour PLUS until they are crunchy on all sides. Just bake and bake and turn them over a bunch of times. I made a big batch and it took 2 hours, so you might want to veer towards 400 instead of 350 degrees F.
Put the cubed corned beef in a frying pan with some oil, and brown it slightly, to give it that browned flavor, and it should be pretty dry. The corned beef likes dry sarcastic humor if you talk to it.
Mix them both, and serve with an egg over them, or with ketchup. We are so crazy for it, we call it corned beef hashish, ha ha. It really can't be good for us but it is good good good!
