Chef John's Corned Beef Hash

Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds potatoes , peeled and quartered
• 1.5 pounds cooked corned beef , finely chopped
• 1 bunch green onions , chopped
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 cloves garlic , crushed
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 0.25 cups roasted tomato salsa

Instructions

1. 1

   Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until almost tender but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and finely chop.

2. 2

   Cook beef in a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat until fat begins to render. Stir green onions, salt, and pepper into beef. Add garlic and butter; cook and stir until butter is melted and garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

3. 3

   Stir potatoes, salsa, and a pinch of salt into beef mixture. Pat mixture down in the skillet with a spatula and divide hash into 4 sections.

4. 4

   Cook, without stirring, until a crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip sections and cook until a crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes more. Repeat cooking and flipping process, flipping every 5 minutes, until hash stays together and has a golden crust, 10 to 15 minutes.
