Corned Beef Hash

On the subject of tins and cheapness, a tin of that very old fashioned favourite corned beef is a useful thing to have in the fridge. Then at a moment's notice you can make hash.

Corned Beef Hash

1 small tin corned beef will feed 2/3
3/4 potatoes or mire if you are trying to stretch it to feed 4
1 or even 2 onions

1. Boil the potatoes
2. Chop the onions and cook till soft in a little oil in a frying pan
3. Let them cool enough to handle and then cut them up into cubes ( large or small is up to you)
4. Cut the beef into cubes - it must have been in the fridge first
5. Add these to the pan and stir so it all mixes
6. Cook it all together fairly gently for 10 minutes or so, if you want it soft, or on a higher heat and let it go brown underneath so you can turn the brown bits in- either way it will taste good

Serve with peas and brown sauce or worcester sauce to taste. A fried egg on top is 'gilding the lily' but is also good.
