Corned Beef Hash

Classically, this is offered topped with poached eggs.

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp. unsalted butter
• 1 small onion, minced
• 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
• 2 cups chopped, cooked corned beef (about 1 pound)
• 3 medium-sized cold, boiled potatoes, chopped
• 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
• Cream, just enough to moisten-about 2 tbsp.
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Parsley sprigs

Directions

In a frying pan, over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and celery, and cook until soft. Do not brown.

Add the beef, potatoes, nutmeg, cream, salt and pepper, and stir until well mixed.
Spread evenly and cook over low heat until the bottom is brown and crusty.
Loosen with spatula and turn out onto a hot serving dish. Garnish with parsley.
