How to Make Canned Corned Beef Hash Crispy
Corned beef hash is at its best when its crispy. All you need to do is heat a thin layer of your choice of vegetable oil in a skillet on high heat. Add the corned beef hash and spread into a layer so that it cooks evenly long enough to remove excess moisture on both sides.
Tips for Preventing Corned Beef Hash From Sticking To The Pan
- Using a nonstick pan with a heavy bottom will ensure the heat is evenly distributed.
