Talking Chunky Corned Beef & Sweet Potato Hash



Wash and dry sweet potato, cut off any blemishes and then shred. Butternut squash works also, which is lower in calories. Chop onion. (I was out of onions, so I used dried minced onions.) Preheat nonstick pan to just a bit above medium. Add couple teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil to pan, although I suspect the oil isn't necessary. Add potatoes and onion to pan, season with fresh ground pepper, parsley, celery flakes and some garlic powder. Stir-fry until tender to your liking. Sweet potatoes do not stick together like white potatoes - awesome! Given that sweet potatoes can caramelize, you can cook it longer if desired. Add chopped corned beef and a small amount of broth, (water would work too) stir-fry until heated through. Enjoy!

If you want to skip the making of corned beef, buy some at the deli. Ask the person to slice you a couple quarter inch thick or so pieces. Ham, brisket or pot roast would work beautifully for this hash recipe. Brisket is a cut of meat that comes from the lower chest of a cow and is sold seasoned as corned beef or unseasoned and just called brisket, a real favorite of mine. This cut requires long, slow, moist cooking, either on the stove top or in the oven. Oven bags or crock works well too. Brisket/corned beef and uncooked ham all freeze well - Slice and lay on lined tray and place in freezer. Once frozen, place in freezer bag for easy individual use. There is always something on hand to make a good breakfast or dinner!
