Many of you have already bought your corned beef and plan to make it this weekend for St. Patrick’s Day. What do you do with the leftovers? One of my favorite ways to enjoy them is by chopping up chunks of corned beef and potatoes and crisping them up in a cast-iron skillet with a poached egg on top and my favorite hot sauce on the side.
In a large cast-iron skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add onion and pepper and sauté until it starts to soften, about 5 minutes. Add grated garlic and stir in. Empty contents on a plate and set aside.
Add remainder of the coconut oil to the pan and gently add your chopped potatoes to the skillet. Make sure they are not crowded, or they will steam versus crisp up. Stir and flip chunks over once they become crusty on the bottom, about 8 minutes.
Stir in corned beef and add broth and cook, scraping up all the brown bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the veggies back in the skillet, parsley and season with salt and pepper and cook for about 5 minutes on medium-low.
Fill a large skillet with 2 inches of salted water and bring to a simmer. Break one egg at a time onto a small saucer and slide it slowly into the simmering water. Poach each egg until set to desired firmness, usually 4 to 5 minutes (less if you like your yokes to be runny).
Plate your hash and add 1 to 2 poached eggs over the top. Serve with hot sauce on the side or drizzle over the top.
NOTES: A cast-iron skillet makes all the difference with this recipe. Just before serving, drizzle a little MCT oil over the top for the brain-fueling healthy fats.
