    Here are some notes on the key ingredients. For the full list of ingredients, check out the recipe card below.

    • Cooked Corned Beef- I make this hash whenever I have some leftover corned beef in my refrigerator, which is typically in March around St. Patrick's Day.
    • Sweet Potato- Use a medium or large sweet potato. Dice it into small ÂĽ-inch cubes so it cooks quickly in the skillet along with the rest of the vegetables.

    • Onion- Adds delicious flavor to the vegetable medley. Dice small along with the rest of the vegetables.
    • Garlic- For flavor.
    • Water- Helps the vegetables cook through in the skillet without burning. Swap for chicken stock or Worcestershire sauce if preferred.
    • Butter- For sautĂ©ing the vegetables. Also adds a wonderful buttery flavor that tastes delicious with eggs.
    • Canola Oil- Neutral flavored oil with a higher smoke point than butter.

    Step by Step Instructions

    Here is how to make sweet potato corned beef hash.

    Step 1: Brown the vegetables. Heat the butter and oil in a cast iron skillet or non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, cabbage, sweet potato, and salt. Stir to coat the vegetables with fat. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes.

    Tips for Success

    • Use leftovers. I'm always looking for ways to reduce food waste in my kitchen. This breakfast recipe is perfect for the day after enjoying corned beef and cabbage for dinner.
    • Mise en place. This sweet potato corned beef hash comes together quickly once it starts cooking. To make cooking less stressful, I recommend having everything chopped and measured out before you begin.
    • Dice the vegetables small. In order for the vegetables to cook quickly and evenly on the stovetop, dicing them up small is important. About ÂĽ-inch cubes are perfect for a 10-15 minute cook time.
    • Don't stir too much. The trick to browning the vegetables is to leave them alone, especially for the first 5-7 minutes of cooking. Allowing them to stay in contact with the hot skillet will let them caramelize to golden brown perfection.

    Substitutions and Variations

    Here are a few ways you can try customizing this sweet potato corned beef hash recipe to fit your diet and taste preferences.

    Substitutions

    • Cooked Corned Beef- This sweet potato hash recipe works well with leftover prime rib, beef brisket, ham, and sausage as well.
    • Sweet Potato- Opt for russet potatoes or a combination of sweet potatoes and russet potatoes if preferred. Or use leftover sweet potatoes from another recipe.
    • Cabbage- Both cooked cabbage and raw cabbage work in this recipe. Alternatively, use spinach, kale, or shredded Brussels sprouts in place of the cabbage.
    • Red Bell Pepper- Any type of pepper can be used in this corned beef sweet potato hash. Give jalapeño a try for a spicy kick.
    • Onion- Use 1-2 teaspoons of onion powder instead of fresh onion. Green onion and shallots also work well here.
    • Garlic- Swap fresh garlic for ½ teaspoon of garlic powder.
    • Butter- Replace the butter with all oil or margarine if preferred.
    • Canola Oil- Any neutral-flavored, high-heat oil, such as light olive oil or avocado oil, can be used in this recipe.
    • Water- Use Worcestershire sauce or chicken stock in place of the water for an extra boost of flavor.

    Variations

    • Gluten-Free- Sweet potato corned beef hash is naturally gluten-free. However, it's important to always double-check the labels of the ingredients you're using.
    • Dairy-Free- Replace the butter with oil or plant-based butter for dairy-free corned beef vegetable hash.
    • Cheesy- Sprinkle some shredded cheddar cheese or other cheeses on top of the hash to make it even more satisfying and delicious.
    • Spicy- Add minced jalapeño, a few shakes of red pepper flakes, or a tablespoon of your favorite hot sauce to make spicy corned beef hash.
    • Herbed- Give your skillet corned beef hash another layer of flavor with fresh or dried herbs. Try parsley, cilantro, thyme, and rosemary.
    • Add Beans- Black beans, pinto beans, or other types of beans make a healthy and tasty addition to this sweet potato corned beef hash. Plus, they add extra protein and fiber to help fill you up and get your day started right.

    Storage and Reheating

    How to Store

    • Refrigerator- Store leftover sweet potato corned beef hash in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
    • Freezer- Leftover corned beef hash with vegetables can be kept in the freezer for longer storage. To freeze, transfer the corned beef hash to a freezer-safe, airtight container or a resealable freezer bag. Then, label and place in the freezer for up to 3 months.

    How to Reheat

    If your corned beef hash with sweet potatoes is frozen, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.

    • Stovetop- Heat butter or oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the hash and cook, stirring occasionally, until fully warmed through.
    • Oven- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place leftover corned beef hash in a baking dish and drizzle a tablespoon or two of water over it. Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and heat for approximately 10 minutes or until the hash is fully warmed through.
    • Microwave- Place leftover hash on a microwave-safe dish. Drizzle a small amount of water over it and cover it with a lid or a damp paper towel. Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute. Stir, then continue heating in 30-second intervals until fully warmed through.
    • Air Fryer- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 2 minutes. If your air fryer basket has large holes, place a piece of aluminum foil over the bottom before adding the hash. If not, add the hash directly to the basket. Heat for 5-7 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally, until the hash is crispy and fully warmed through.

    Make Ahead

    Corned beef hash with vegetables can be prepared up to 2 days in advance, then reheated before eating. I recommend reheating hash in a skillet for the freshest flavor.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I use frozen vegetables to make sweet potato corned beef hash?

    Yes, use frozen bell peppers, onions, and sweet potatoes in place of fresh ones if preferred. Keep in mind that it may take a few minutes longer for them to cook through and get crispy.

    Why won't my corned beef hash get crispy?

    If your skillet isn't hot enough or if you're stirring the hash too much, it won't have a chance to get crispy and golden brown. Keep in mind, however, since this sweet potato corned beef hash recipe is made with lots of veggies (a.k.a. lots of moisture), it won't get as crispy as regular corned beef hash.

    Can you overcook corned beef hash?

    Yes, corned beef hash can burn and overcook if the heat is too high or if it is cooked for too long. Overcooked corned beef hash will be dry, tough, chewy, and possibly burnt.

    What to eat with corned beef hash?

    Serve this sweet potato corned beef hash with eggs, toast, English muffins, bagels, oatmeal, muffins, or Irish soda bread.

    Is corned beef hash healthy?

    Corned beef is high in sodium and fat, which means that corned beef hash also tends to be high in these nutrients. However, this sweet potato corned beef hash recipe is healthier than traditional corned beef hash because it has extra vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the vegetables.
