Recipe Ingredient
Corned Beef: I'm using canned corned beef. Yes, you heard it right! It's not fresh corned beef, but a canned good that I bought from a grocery store. You can use any brand you like, and it doesn't matter. Before mixing with other ingredients, make sure to remove the juices from the corned beef.
Potatoes: Potatoes add bulk and texture to the patties. I cut them into pieces and then use a food processor to make them into a puree. This makes it easy to mix them with the corned beef.
Carrots: Carrots add sweet flavor and color to my patties. I shred them or use a food processor to grate them into smaller pieces.
Onion: The red onion will add aromatic flavor to the recipe which I pureed it using a food processor.
Egg: The egg helps bind all the ingredients together, ensuring the corned beef patties hold together when cooking.
Do you need to store in the fridge before frying?
When making patties, whether tuna, beef, or chicken, people usually refrigerate them before cooking. The coolness of the fridge helps hold the patties together during cooking.
However, I don't refrigerate them. I cook them directly in the pan. I believe this is optional as long as you remove the juices of the corned beef to avoid having watery patties.
Step by Step Instruction
The instructions to make corned beef hash patties are simple since you only need a few ingredients, and it will take only 15 minutes to cook this recipe.
- Firstly, I used the food processor to puree the red onion & potatoes, and shredded the carrots.
- Next, I transferred them into the plate bowl and added the corned beef,salt, black pepper, cornstarch, and egg. Mix them gently.
- Use your clean hand to make into patties. I used two tablespoons when forming a patty. This recipe is good for 8 patties.
- After that, pour vegetable oil in the pan. Once it is hot, add the patties and let it fry for 3 to 5 minutes in medium-low heat or until it turns dark brown. Flip it and repeat the process.
- Lastly, transfer the plate with a paper towel below to absorb the excess oil and you are done.
Storing and Freezing tips
1.Refrigeration
- If you have leftover corned beef, place them in an airtight container or resealable plastic bag before storing them in the refrigerator. This can last for up to 5 days.
2. Freezing
- If you want to freeze the patties, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer which will last for up to 2 months.
Reheating Tips
1. Skillet Pan
- If you want to maintain the crusty texture on the outside, you can add a few drops of tablespoons of vegetable oil to the skillet pan, and then cook it for 3-5 minutes on both sides before serving it.
2. Microwave
- This method is the fastest and easiest to reheat the corned beef patties. The only downside is that it will make your patties soft or soggy. Set it in a medium-high setting for 2 minutes maximum before serving.
3. Air-frying
- This cooking method is the most recommended since you don’t need to use any oil, and it will help maintain its crispy texture. Set it at 180 C or 360 F, and air fry it for 6-8 minutes.
Troubleshoot questions
1. Why do my corned beef patties fall apart during frying?
If it falls apart during frying, it means that your patties are too watery or high in moisture. Add 1-2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour or cornstarch and then mix it again before shaping it into patties. This will help bind the corned beef mixture together.
2. Why are my patties too dry?
If the patties are too dry, it means it doesn’t have enough moisture. You can add more egg or pureed onion to the corned beef mixture so it will not be dry.

I am using raw potatoes. You don't have to cooked them since frying in the oil will do all the work.

Ronda Thomas
I made this tonight.
They were falling apart a little while frying. Took them out of the oil and cooked them in an iron skillet without adding any oil... Perfect! I usually tweak recipes to add my Guyanese flavour but this one was flavourful on its own. My food critic, six year old son, only said "hmmmm, yummy!".
Thank you for sharing it.
Saif
Hi Ronda. When you shaped them into a patties, make sure you remove the excess juices by squeezing them. This will help hold the patties while frying. Hope this helps.
Sonya
