Corned Beef Hash

[Glassman]

Last time I had CBH was about 20 years ago - cooked by my mate's dad (a Jamaican).

Anyone still make it?

[Anthony Micallef]

Yes we still have it. Quite popular Ooop North where I live.

Yep, it was/is lovely as well, local pub has CBH cakes on the menu, they were awesome.

I imagine it can range from student or dosser food to good old hearty traditional?

CBH. Mum used to cook it. Some HP sauce on too bread and butter ooops......... am dribbling

A twist on CBH, tin of corned beef, tin of spaghetti, tin of toms, chop up in ovenproof dish. Top with mashed potato, bake in oven.

This reminds me of a late night TV program that used to come on every night. 'Get Stuffed' was a five minute thing featuring mainly student types who showed off their budget meals. They always used to start off by saying, "first, we wash our hands" which was usually in a sink full of washing

Love CBH, great way to use up those left over boiled new potatoes.

Lovely with a fried egg on top and lashings of brown sauce.

I hadn't had this for about 20 years either, until last week when I mentioned it to my wife. Next day CBH for dinner This could well be my last meal option if I were ever to find myself in the US on death-row!

I agree......recipe please!

The missus makes a great one. Uses salt beef, rather than corned beef. Got the recipe from a diner in New York.

Best served with a fried egg and a beer. Proper brunch food.

Do you per-fry the onion or cook it in the mash mix from raw?

[RichB]

So sort of bubble & squeak with corned beef instead of greens, sounds good!

[Heskey]

Used to have it quite a lot in our house, but I've opted myself out of it for the last few years because I've just come to accept that I think it's fking rank.

Yes I do but probably a little different to most people.

I slice onions and pots and they build it up in layers in a pyrex dish that has been lightly buttered. I then add a few knobs of butter on each potato layer and sprinkle of salt.

At the very top I add a layer of corned beef, cover with foil and then bake in the oven.

I remember Get Stuffed! A 2am sort of programme. Probably between Tour of Duty and the Jobs Pages. Classic TV.

Oh must have had a weird version when a kid (last time I have had it)
fried onions, tin of beans, cubes of corned beef and cubes of sauted potatos with the obligatory lashings of hp sauce!

This is how I make CBH too but I top it off with a layer of potatos so they brown and crisp up like a lanc hotpot.

Hmm Think I might make one this week.
