Mary Berry Corned Beef Hash

Mary Berry Corned Beef Hash

Mary Berry Corned Beef Hash is a simple, one-pan dish made by cooking diced potatoes with onions, seasonings, and chopped corned beef until golden and crisp. It’s traditionally served as a comforting British meal and can be enjoyed at breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 400g corned beef (canned)

  • 500g potatoes, peeled and diced

  • 1 large onion, finely chopped

  • 30g butter or 2 tbsp oil

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (optional but recommended)

  • Fresh parsley (optional for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Cook the potatoes

Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes. Parboil them in salted water for about 5–7 minutes until slightly soft but still holding their shape.

Step 2: Sauté the onions

Melt butter in a large frying pan. Add the onions and cook on medium heat until softened and lightly golden.

Step 3: Add the potatoes

Drain the potatoes well, then add them to the pan. Cook until the edges begin to brown and turn crispy, stirring occasionally.

Step 4: Add the corned beef

Break the corned beef into chunks and fold it gently into the potato mixture. Allow it to heat through and soften.

Step 5: Season the mixture

Add salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Continue cooking until the potatoes are crisp and the corned beef is well mixed and browned.

Step 6: Serve warm

Garnish with parsley if using. Serve on its own or topped with a fried egg for a complete meal.
