I’ve always liked the idea of a hash; various bits of food all chopped up and cooked together. I tried to make a corned beef hash once which was somewhat eventful. I was at University in my student house with two of my friends. The can of corned beef was being somewhat stubborn so I used my intuition and tried to open the can with a can opener. Suffice to say there was some slippage and some slicing and next thing I know I’m running around the kitchen with all of us pretending to be braver than we are trying to wrap my hand in kitchen roll. Luckily we lived near the hospital so off we trudged, in the ice and snow, to sit in A&E with all the people who had dislocated something slipping on the ice. I ended up with four stitches and my two fingers bandaged up which provided much amusement for the following week. In my haste to leave the house I had left a pan of water on the hob; this was also the night I learned you can burn water.
Ingredients
You will need (for 4):
- 900g potatoes, cubed and peeled £0.90

Total £4.01
Method
You can top the hash with a fried egg if you like too.
As you can see I steered well clear of corned beef for this attempt at a hash and I managed to make it injury free. It was lovely; bright, vibrant and full of different flavours. I like that it’s all mixed together in the same pan; the dark, sticky, sometimes crispy onions are a real treat. Not too pricey, not hard to make and it uses up bits you might have hanging around anyway.
Oh, and also, the aforementioned corned beef incident also taught me something else: my tetanus vaccinations were up to date. Every cloud.
Simple dish and with potatoes as one of the ingredients, I’m full of admiration for it though beef is taboo for us.
I love the look of this, I dislike corned beef greatly & it seems chorizo makes a suitable substitute.
It looks hearty and loaded with flavours!
Se ve muy sabroso me gustan sus ingredientes,abrazos
Oh…one of the favorites!

Gosh this looks fantastic – a perfect comfort food! Those corned beef cans are a nightmare, do they still have those little keys, I wonder? We grew up on corned beef hash (with lashings of tomato ketchup) but I reckon I’d give your meal a go over that any day!
Love your addition of the spicy chorizio. My son made me this dish this morning for breakfast for mom’s day but with just regular sausage will have to give your spicy version a try. Take Care, BAM
i love a hash! seems to me that you’ve done it up right, chorizo is a great addition!
Love this dish… delicious for breakfast or lunch.
I am glad this time it was without casualties.. 🙂 I think adding chorizo was a great and yummy decision,
Well that was quite eventful! Glad this hash came into the world without quite as much fanfare.
Can’t beat a budget meal, this one looks fantastic.
Chorizo is always good isn’t it. Cracker of a recipe. Elinor x
I made a near identical dish on Sunday. It’s a winner isn’t it?
Hash can be such terrific stuff, can’t it? Never made one with chorizo, but you’ve got me interested — I’ll have to try it! Thanks so much.
this looks tasty and what a bargain meal love this series on your blog
