Ingredients
700g potatoes, peeled and chopped into 3cm cubes
340g canned corned beef, cut into 1cm cubes
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tablespoons sunflower oil or any neutral oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce or Henderson’s Relish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
-
Place chopped potatoes in a large pot of boiling water and cook until tender, about 10 to 12 minutes. Drain thoroughly and let steam off any excess moisture.
-
While the potatoes are boiling, heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté for about 5 minutes until softened and golden.
-
Add the drained potatoes to the pan along with the cubed corned beef and Worcestershire sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper.
-
Increase the heat to high and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes develop a golden, crispy crust.
-
For extra crunch, place the pan under a hot grill for 2 to 3 minutes until the top is crisped to your liking.
-
Serve hot, optionally topped with a fried egg, brown sauce, or a side of beans or salad.
Notes
Floury potatoes like Maris Piper or King Edward work best for crisp edges.
Canned corned beef softens during cooking—avoid stirring too often to keep some texture.
Leftovers can be reheated in a hot skillet to bring back the crisp.
This recipe pairs well with poached eggs, sautéed greens, or baked beans for a complete meal.
