Ingredients
- 12 oz corned beef, diced
- 2 cups russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cups diced russet potatoes with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper, cooking for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden and tender.
