Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked, diced potatoes (Choose a waxy type like Yukon gold or white potatoes)
  • 3 cups cooked roast beef, chopped
  • 1 cup diced onion (About 1 medium onion)
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce (your favorite)
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Prepare the hash:

  • Combine in a bowl the diced potatoes, diced roast beef, and diced onion. 
  • Add in the milk, salt, black pepper, hot sauce, and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Stir to combine.

Cook the hash:

  • Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet over medium heat until it’s hot.
  • Spread the hash mixture over the bottom of the skillet in an even layer.
  • Cook the layer for 8-10 minutes, pressing down occasionally with a spatula, until a dark brown crust forms on the bottom.
  • Stir the contents a few times, then continue cooking for another 5-10 minutes until the hash is hot, with plenty of browning on the meat and potatoes.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately, with extra hot sauce if you'd like!
  • Makes 4 servings (or about 2 Who Hash cans-worth!)

Notes

Tips

  • Use cooked roast beef leftover from a dinner roast, or chuck roast.
  • Need to prepare some roast beef for this recipe? Try this: buy about 2 pounds of stew beef, which is chuck roast cut into cubes. Place the beef in an Instant Pot cooker with ¾ cup of water and some seasonings. Cook the beef for about 45-60 minutes in the Instant Pot until it's tender.
