A Charlie Brown Christmas, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer… one very funny Christmas parody song calls these the “stale TV specials.” What a Grinchy thing to say! Go ahead and roll your eyes, but we all have our favorite holiday specials and favorite lines, too! (“Nobody likes a Charlie-in-the-box!”)
My friend and I decided to recreate some dishes featured in our favorite holiday shows or in honor of them. He created a homemade cheese pizza just like Kevin’s in Home Alone. And I made this Who Hash, the last can of which the Grinch stole from the Whos.
Unlike the Grinch, I prefer a Who Hash that’s a cut-above the canned variety. This recipe for Who Hash has diced, fresh potatoes, onions and some roast Beast. I mean, beef!
How to make Who Hash
Step 1: Combine the meat, potatoes and seasonings
In a large bowl mix together diced roast beef, diced cooked potato and diced onion. Mix these together with milk and seasonings.
Step 2: Fry it up in a pan
Heat the oil in a large skillet, and when it’s hot add the beef and potato mixture. Spread it into a even layer and let it cook for 10 minutes. Once a crust has formed on the bottom, stir the hash around and cook it for another 10-15 minutes until it’s hot and browned throughout.
Step 3: Invite your Grinches to join you!
Serve the Who Hash while it’s hot, alongside buttered toast or hot biscuits.
Notes
- Use leftover roast beef from a dinner roast or purchase some from your deli.
What a tasty, savory dinner of Who Hash – and it makes a hearty breakfast, too. Fahoo Fores Dahoo Dores. The recipe is below, and here are a few more holiday treats for you!

Who Hash with Roast Beast (Beef)
Ingredients
- 3 cups diced potatoes
- ½ pound roast beef, diced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- ½ cup milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine in a bowl the diced potatoes, diced roast beef, and diced onion.
- Add in the milk, salt, and hot sauce. Stir to combine.
- Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat until it’s hot, so that a piece of onion dropped in will begin to sizzle. Spread the diced mixture over the bottom of the skillet in an even layer.
- Cook the layer for about 10 minutes, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, until a brown crust forms on the bottom. Then, stir the contents and continue cooking for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the hash is cooked and browned throughout.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
- Makes 4 servings or fills 2 Who Hash cans.
Notes
- Use roast beef leftover from a dinner roast, or purchase some from your deli.

I’m putting on a movie night for my family, the movie of course is The Grinch and a themed dinner/desert. I think I might just have to try this!
Isabel, this sounds like fun!! I hope you’ll try my Who Hash, and let me know how you all like it… and what else folks bring to the party!
Not into Hash. Never eaten it, never appealed I’m afraid. I would, of course, have tried your Who Hash but not sure if it would have converted me.
Hmmm, Jo you are making me think of Green Eggs & Ham. ‘Would you like some in a box?” 🙂
As one who was able to partake in the feast, I will say it was quite delicious!
Thanks, Mock!
Nan,
This look delicious! Thank you for allowing me to join you on this cinematic food journey. I look forward to co-blogging again soon.
Cheers!
The honor was mine! I had fun working on this with you. Save me some of that meatloaf!!
