Corned Beef Hash Controversy

[Scripto]

H and I are discussing the way to make this. He’s waving a masher around and is obviously wrong.

1. Parboil cubed pots.
2. Fry onions
3. Add pots to onions
4. Brown a bit
5. Chuck in oven with cheese on top
6. Eat with baked beans and a fried egg.

He’s also suggesting green stuff which is so wrong I may have to kill him.

I like your idea, but where's the corned beef?

But yes, cubed potatoes.

Oh yes. Forgot that bit. I did this morning too and had to go back out to buytsome,.

4.5 Chuck in the corned beef after the pots and before the oven,

No no no! He is completely correct with his masher. How is it going to be a Hash without a Mash?
Cubed potatoes are mere pretension.

I've seen it both ways. I don't think either of you are wrong, I suspect its down to regional variation.

Now, how do I get this splinter out of my arse?

Step away from the masher

He's right about the masher, it's layers of mashed potatoes, onion and corned beef. Cubed potatoes are irrelevant.

YABVVU.

Hash requires mash.

I've had corned beef hash both ways too. Jolly nice either way.

I think arguably they can both work but I'm with you all the way (although definitely no cheese!).

Having said that I was brought up with carrots in too and served with mushy peas/pickled onion/beetroot rather than beans and egg.

Is this the thread to say, I've never eaten it?

I think I'd prefer mash to cubes of potatoes.

Dare I add sliced potatoes to the list of possibilities?

Cheese has no place in a hash!

Much nicer mashed, sometimes with onions.

Ok, your top example has no corned beef?

Yes to the mashed potatoes.
No to the greens or cheese.

What's with all this oven talk? Surely the whole thing is cooked in a frying pan with a fried egg on top??

Mash potatoes, mash corned beef in, wack in the oven so the top crisps. Serve with baked beans. Add ketchup only if you're a total wrongun.

You are correct it’s cubes

Definitely mash!

Cubed potatoes (boiled), chopped onion and chopped corned beef, fried till it gets nice crispy bits.

No egg, just baked beans.

DP loves it and he wouldn't normally touch corned beef with a bargepole.

Ooh, sliced potatoes! Marvellous idea TheRattleBag.
Larger surface area means more brown loveliness when fried with the onion.
Dare I suggest actually adding the baked beans to the mix before baking.
Yummy and less washing up but could be a step too far.

My opinion is probably not welcome here, so feel free to tell me to fuck off, but you're all fucking wrongens.
Corned beef hash looks and smells like dog food.

I've never encountered a mashed potato version. I'm a Southerner, I wonder if it is a regional variation.

Anyway, according to Wikipedia......

Hash is a culinary dish consisting of diced or chopped meat, potatoes and spices that are mixed together and cooked by themselves, or with other ingredients such as onions.[1] The name is derived from French: hacher, meaning "to chop".[2]

Eyesight corned beer hash corner beef hash and cottage pie is so controversial on mumsnet 😂here's my version likes which I boil and mash I then add a tin of cornbeef,red onion, frozen mixed veg and gravy and heat it all on the hob.
