Ultimate corned beef recipe, perfectly crispy.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cooked Corned Beef, shredded or finely diced
  • 1 large Yellow Onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 2 medium Potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil (plus extra if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Salt (to taste, as corned beef is salty)
  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • ½ teaspoon Dried Thyme
  • ½ cup full-fat Sour Cream
  • 2 tablespoons Prepared Horseradish (adjust to heat preference)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
  • ½ teaspoon White Wine Vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Chives, chopped

Instructions

  • If starting with a whole cooked corned beef brisket, make sure it’s cooled enough to handle. Shred or finely dice the corned beef into small, irregular pieces (about ½ to ¾ inch in size). Finely dice your yellow onion and mince your garlic cloves. For the potatoes, peel and dice them into small, ½-inch cubes. You can par-boil these for about 5 minutes or microwave them until slightly tender but still firm.
  • Heat a large, heavy-bottomed cast iron skillet or a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add your diced potatoes. Spread them in a single layer and let them cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes until they develop a beautiful golden-brown crust. Flip them and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Once they’re looking good, add the diced onions and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened and translucent and the garlic is fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Push the potatoes and aromatics to one side of the pan, or temporarily remove them if your pan is crowded. Add the shredded corned beef to the empty side of the pan with another drizzle of oil, if needed. Spread the corned beef into a single layer and let it cook undisturbed for 5-7 minutes until gloriously golden and crispy. Give it a good stir, breaking up any larger clumps, and combine it with the onions and potatoes. Add your seasonings: 1 teaspoon salt (taste first!), ½ teaspoon black pepper, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and ½ teaspoon dried thyme. Continue to cook, stirring every 2-3 minutes, for another 10-15 minutes, or until the corned beef is deeply golden, incredibly crispy, and perfectly integrated with the potatoes and onions. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  • In a small bowl, combine ½ cup full-fat sour cream, 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, and ½ teaspoon white wine vinegar. Season with a pinch of salt and fresh black pepper to taste. Finally, fold in 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped chives. Whisk everything until it’s beautifully smooth and well combined. Chill until ready to serve.
  • Carefully spoon generous portions of the Crispy Corned Beef onto individual serving plates or a large communal platter. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh, vibrant chopped parsley over the top. Then, place a generous dollop or an elegant drizzle of your chilled Creamy Horseradish Sauce right alongside, or even artfully swirl it over a corner of the crispy corned beef. Serve immediately to ensure maximum crispiness!
