Ready to transform leftover corned beef into a crave-worthy weeknight meal? These Spiced Corned Beef Hash Tacos are a clever and delicious way to use up that St. Patrick’s Day surplus. We’ll build them step-by-step, starting with a crispy, seasoned potato hash as the perfect base.
Serving: 4 | Pre Time: 15 minutes | Cooking Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
– 1 large russet potato, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
– 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for seasoning
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
– 1 1/2 cups cooked corned beef, shredded or chopped into small pieces
– 8 small corn tortillas
– 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
– 1/4 cup sour cream, for serving
– 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish
– 1 lime, cut into wedges, for serving
Instructions
1. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
2. Add the diced potato to the hot skillet in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to develop a golden crust on one side.
3. Stir the potatoes, then season with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.
4. Reduce heat to medium and continue cooking the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until tender and crispy on all edges.
5. Push the potatoes to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the empty space.
6. Add the diced onion to the oil and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
7. Mix the onions with the potatoes, then add the chopped corned beef, stirring to combine and heat through for 3-4 minutes.
8. While the hash cooks, warm the corn tortillas directly over a gas burner flame for 15-20 seconds per side until lightly charred and pliable, or heat in a dry skillet.
9. Spoon the hot corned beef hash mixture into the center of each warmed tortilla.
10. Top each taco evenly with shredded cheddar cheese so it melts slightly from the heat of the hash.
11. Finish each taco with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and a squeeze of lime juice from a wedge.
Zesty lime juice cuts through the rich, savory hash, while the crispy potatoes provide a satisfying textural contrast to the tender beef. For a fun brunch twist, top with a fried egg, or serve the hash alongside scrambled eggs for a hearty breakfast plate.

Serving: 6 | Pre Time: 20 minutes | Cooking Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients
– 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes (or Yukon Gold for a creamier texture)
– 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
– 1/2 cup sour cream
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the unsalted butter.
2. Place the diced russet potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil over high heat; boil for 10 minutes until just fork-tender, then drain thoroughly in a colander.
3. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter, then add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 5 minutes until softened and translucent.
4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, sour cream, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, heating for 2 minutes until warmed through but not boiling.
5. Tip: For a smoother sauce, whisk continuously to prevent curdling, especially with the sour cream.
6. Combine the drained potatoes and cream mixture in the greased baking dish, tossing gently to coat evenly.
7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the potato mixture.
8. Tip: For a golden-brown crust, ensure the cheese layer is uniform and not too thick.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then check for doneness by inserting a knife; it should slide in easily, and the top should be bubbly and lightly browned.
10. Tip: If the top isn’t browning to your liking, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.
11. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the casserole to set slightly.

– Salt and black pepper
Instructions
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the diced potatoes in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes to develop a golden crust.
3. Stir the potatoes, then add the chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 6-8 minutes. Tip: Resist stirring too often to let the potatoes crisp.
4. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
5. Add the drained pasta to the skillet with the potato hash. Pour in the lemon juice and 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water. Toss everything together for 1-2 minutes until the sauce lightly coats the pasta, adding more pasta water if needed for a silky consistency. Tip: The starchy pasta water helps create a cohesive sauce.
6. Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the lemon zest, sliced basil, and grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed. Season generously with salt and black pepper. Tip: Adding cheese off the heat prevents it from clumping.
7. Divide among bowls and garnish with extra basil and Parmesan. Ultimately, this dish delivers a delightful contrast of tender pasta, crispy potatoes, and a bright, lemony sauce. The fresh basil adds a peppery aroma that makes it feel special, yet it’s hearty enough to stand alone or pair with a simple green salad.
