Follow The Directions
01
Step
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. (2 minutes)
02
Step
Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, stirring occasionally. (5-7 minutes)
03
Step
Transfer the cooked onion to a medium bowl. Add the mashed potatoes and shredded corned beef. Season generously with salt and pepper. (3 minutes)
04
Step
Gently mix all ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the patties tough. (2 minutes)
05
Step
Form the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties, about 1/2-inch thick. (5 minutes)
06
Step
Return the skillet to medium-high heat. If necessary, add a bit more oil to prevent sticking. (1 minute)
07
Step
Carefully place the patties in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping once. (6-8 minutes per side)
08
Step
Remove the Corned Beef Hash Cakes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. (1 minute)
09
Step
Serve immediately, accompanied by your favorite sides. Enjoy!
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or Worcestershire sauce to the mixture.
If the mixture is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour or breadcrumbs to help bind the patties.
For a vegetarian option, substitute the corned beef with cooked lentils or mushrooms.
These cakes are best served immediately, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave.

Apr 30, 2025The patties fell apart a bit while frying. I think I needed to add more binder, maybe an egg?

May 10, 2024I found that letting the mixture chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes before forming the patties helped them hold together better.
