Equipment

  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 chef's knife
  • 1 10" saute pan stainless steel or non-stick
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Large bowl
  • 1 small bowl
  • 2 large plates
  • 1 stainless steel mesh splatter screen optional
  • 1 spatula
  • Paper towels

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ tbsp olive oil divided
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 15-ounce can corned beef hash Libby's preferred
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • cup green onions optional (2 tbsps)
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Heat pan on medium heat. Add ½ tablespoon of olive oil and onions. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened. Let the onions cool for 5 minutes.
  • Put the cooled onions, corned beef hash, eggs, panko breadcrumbs, green onions (if using), and ground black pepper in a large bowl. Mix until well combined.
  • Form the corned beef hash mixture into 8 patties using your hands and put them on a plate.
  • Heat the same pan you used to cook the onions. Add ½ tablespoon of olive oil (more if using a stainless-steel pan). Using your hands, add the patties in batches,4 per batch, and cook them for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Patties are ready to flip/remove when they are easy to lift with a spatula and do not stick to the pan.
  • Put the patties on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil and help keep the patties crispy. Serve with steamed rice.

Notes

Tips and Tricks
How do I cook these in a stainless-steel pan?
First, get the stainless-steel pan very hot. To test if it is the right temperature, splash a tiny bit of water into the pan. If the water forms into beads that jump or dance across the bottom of the pan, then it’s ready for the oil and for frying. If the water just sits there or evaporates, it’s not ready.
What can I use instead of panko breadcrumbs?
You can use other types of breadcrumbs, such as Italian breadcrumbs. If using fresh breadcrumbs, I would only use one egg because using two eggs will cause the patties to be too wet and hard to place into the pan.
How long do these keep in the refrigerator?
Keep any leftovers in the fridge in a container for up to 3 days. Leftovers will not be crispy unless you reheat them on the stove in a pan with a little bit of oil for 1 to 2 minutes on each side. If using a microwave, reheat 1 to 2 patties for about 45 seconds to 1 minute depending on the wattage of your microwave.
