Add the potatoes, and season with salt and pepper and/or your favorite blend seasoning.
Spread the potatoes evenly in a single layer and smash them a bit in the pan. Cook for
5-6 minutes leaving the pan undisturbed to let the potatoes crisp a bit.Flip the potatoes over, cook for a minute, then add the corned beef. If it is sticking too much you can add a little more butter. Spread it evenly in the pan and smash it down a bit. Cook
for another 4-5 minutes. Add the onion/pepper mixture and cook until browned to
your liking.To serve, top with your garnishes of choice and serve with your favorite breakfast items like eggs or
toast (see Note).
Note: I love over-easy eggs because they make a nice sauce when you cut into them.
You can never go wrong with a little grated cheddar cheese. Or when I’m feeling
decadent (usually when serving a weekend brunch) I’ll whip up a stone ground mustard
hollandaise sauce to drizzle over the top.
