Turn your St. Patrick’s Day leftovers into something extra delicious! This corned beef hash is made with just a few simple ingredients and it’s ready to go in just 25 minutes!!
Last week I shared our traditional corned beef and cabbage recipe, and now I’m back with a great way to use up those leftovers. My husband LOVES when we make corned beef, but it’s always way to much for us to eat in one sitting. So the next day we cut everything up and toss it into a skillet. Less than half an hour later we’ve got a tasty, delicious, filling main dish.
You can easily crack a few eggs over top for even more protein or whip up a frittata like we do. If you don’t have leftover potatoes, you can cube 4 or 5 red potatoes and roast them (or use my favorite Ziploc Zip ‘n Steam bags for ease).
Our family love, love, loves this recipe! If you’re looking for a quick & easy way to use up leftovers, I’d highly recommend giving this skillet a try. You can’t go wrong!

I was thinking of using a bag of frozen potatoes O’Brien….has anyone tried it with them????
I haven’t tried this recipe with the frozen potatoes O’Brien. I imagine you could use them. The flavor/texture might be slightly different, but that may be a good option if you are needing to put the meal together even faster. You’ll have to let us know how they turn out if you try it with the potatoes O’Brien.
Made it this morning and it was very good! Thanks!!
You’re welcome! So glad you enjoyed it!
I made it with leftover potatoes and ground up corned beef. It is delicious 😋
Great idea!! Thank you for letting me know that! Glad you liked it!
This recipe sounds great and I intend to make it next week with leftovers from today. One question however do you use fresh or dried herbs in this recipe?
I usually use dried, except for the basil, but either work great!
What’s you zip lock secret for this recipe? Do you have a microwave potato recipe?
Hi Debbie, I use the Ziploc steam bags to pre-cook the potatoes. They are HUGE time savers!
