Breakfast hash is a winning dish any way you make it! Try this traditional rendition or our spicy and vegetarian variations for something a little different.

Preparation

Place diced Yukon gold potatoes in a medium sauce pot, cover with cold water and add vinegar and salt. Place on high heat and bring just to a boil. Potatoes should still be slightly firm. Drain in colander and spread on a pan to cool and dry.

Heat a large sauté pan on medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil then add the onion. Sauté for 3–5 minutes, until beginning to caramelize. Add the garlic and sauté for 10–15 seconds.

Add the blanched potatoes and remaining oil then toss with the onions. Spread into an even layer and reduce heat to medium. Add smoked paprika and chili flakes. Let potatoes brown on one side and then flip with a spatula to brown a different side. Continue this process until potatoes are well browned.

Add the corned beef and sauté for 2–3 minutes to heat through. Add the spinach and fold in until wilted. Add parsley and chives and adjust seasoning to taste with salt and pepper. Place in a serving dish and top with a poached egg.
