Here, we’ve updated traditional corned beef hash by shaping the mixture into patties and frying them. Corned beef is beef brisket or round that has been cured for about 1 month in a brine made from large crystals, or corns, of salt, sugar and other seasonings.

Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 yellow onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1/4-inch dice

Preparation
- 1 In an electric skillet set on medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the onion and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and slightly charred, about 10 minutes. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes.
