Air Fryer Corned Beef Hash and Eggs is a great way to enjoy St Patrick's Day leftovers. An easy, delicious breakfast in less than 20 with little clean-up.
1 ¼cupscooked potatoescubed or refrigerated diced potatoes
½cupchopped onion
2eggs
Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
Spray a cake pan that is slightly smaller than your air fryer basket with nonstick spray. You can also make a pan out of aluminum foil.
Place bacon fat in bottom and all remaining ingredients. Season to taste. Stir to mix.
Place cake pan in air fryer basket and slide into place. Cook for 10 minutes at 390 degrees.
Remove air fryer basket and place on a pot holder. Make 2 wells in the corned beef hash mixture.
Crack an egg into each one. Note: make sure that the egg is at room temperature so that it gets cooked thoroughly. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Place basket back into air fryer and set to 370 degrees. Cook for 3-4 minutes depending on how well done you like your yolks. I like mine on the order of a sunny-side up egg so the 3-4 minutes is perfect. If you want your egg more done, continue cooking, checking every 30 seconds so the egg does not overcook. You will notice a white film develop over the top of the egg but the yolk underneath will still be somewhat runny.
Scoop out one egg and the corned beef hash around it with a large spoon and plate. Repeat with remaining egg and hash for second serving.
Notes
VARIATIONSPotato- exchange regular potatoes for diced sweet potatoesVegetables - add chopped bell pepper for more color, crunch and earthinessNo leftover corned beef –just ask the deli to cut corned beef in thick slices then diceOther meats - substitute the corned beef for leftover meats like steak, ham, sausage, or chickenCheese - when the eggs are done just place your favorite cheese on top and let it sit for a minute in the air fryer to melt. Cheddar is a great option here.Spice it up- add a bit of Worcestershire sauce for flavor and cayenne pepper, horseradish, or red pepper flakes for a little heat.
