I almost like the day after St. Patrick’s Day even better than the holiday itself. You might ask why, but if you have ever tried a genuine home-made Corned Beef Hash, it wouldn’t take long to figure out the answer! Since I always add in a nice link of chouriço to my Corned Beef and Cabbage on St. Paddy’s Day, I like to add it right into the hash the next day. And wow, the results are amazing, the spiced sausage adds in that little extra kick that sets it apart from any other hash you have ever had!.
This is what your dinner looked like last night.
Refrigerate your boiled dinner over night and this is what you get. You will find the fat has floated to the top making it easy to remove, yay.
Grab some potatoes and corned beef to start with.
Dice up a large onion. I used my Pampered Chef Manual Food Processor because I wanted to speed this process along.
Next dice up your potato. I like a small dice, but not so small that they disintegrate with additional cooking. Remember these potatoes have been boiled, so they are quite tender.
Start by removing any remaining fat on your corned beef. Then cut into strips.
Dice.
Then do the same to your chouriço. Be sure to first remove the skin.
Sautée your onions.
Then add in your remaining ingredients. Add in a bit more oil when you add in the potatoes and meat if the onions have soaked up all the oil you originally added in.
Add on some Portuguese All Spice or paprika.
Be sure to give this time to really crisp up, nothing worse than a mushy hash.
