Only ever done a corned beef has with tinned corned beef.
The corned beef, par boiled potatoes, onion, s&p, ketchup, tobasco and worcestershire.

shot it all in a pan and fry it up.




I do variations with left over sunday dinners. I guess they could be thought of as a hash or bubble & squeak.
My mam called it a gypsy fry.

Make some mashed potatoes (mashed, not riced - you want some texture).

Finely slice onion, cube your tin of corned beef.

Mix well, but make sure that the bits od corned beef are still fairly whole.

Press into an oven dish.

Level and score the top with a fork, like you would with a cottage pie.

Bake until the top is crispy, and serve with loads of Worcester sauce (or Henderson's Relish if you can get it)

Nah - it's got to be HP sauce. And with a fried egg on top. And some baked beans.

One of my favourite comfort foods ever.

I make mine like a cottage/shepards pie. Fry an onion add corned beef, bit of marmite and a touch of stock in a dish topped with mashed potato in the oven until the top is crispy.

Doesn't have to be HP for me, I'm a fan of ketchup, mustard or Worcester sauce. The fried egg, however, is a necessity!

My method is to boil the spuds and mash them with milk and butter.

Finely chop up some red onion and cut the corn beef into cubes and then mash that up with the spuds.

Finish off by plating it up, heating in the microwave and mixing it with tomato sauce.

I wouldn't do it with mashed potatoes - it gets too soft. Better with parboiled potato cut into small chunks then finished off cooking in the frying pan with the corned beef and onion.

My main problem making this is that corned beef has recently shot up in price. It used to be such a cheap meat but now it's over £2 a tin.

I'm also one for sauteed potatoes. I've been watching some US shows where they make hash and they call them homefries.

This is how my mum used to make it

I had it work one day (I work in a nursing home) and it was vile. They called it corn beef hash but it was made with mince and sliced potatoes - I didn't eat it

Sounds similar to a North East dish called "panacalty". The exact recipe varies from family to family but for us it was sliced potatoes cooked in mice and gravy and then with slices of corrned beef dropped into the pot towards the end of cooking. Lovely with lots of brown sauce and bread to mop up the gravy

Mice and gravy is indeed a traditional northern delicacy. It comes from the days when it was the only fresh meat you could find

Or, for the squeamish, you could try mince...
