Air Fryer Corned Beef Hash: Quick, Easy, Delicious!

Cooking corned beef hash in an air fryer is a quick and easy way to make a tasty meal. The cooking time varies depending on how crispy you like your hash, but it generally takes between 15 and 25 minutes.

Cooking time and temperature

The cooking time and temperature for corned beef hash in an air fryer can vary depending on the desired level of crispiness and the specific air fryer model. However, here are some general guidelines:

Preheat your air fryer to a temperature between 350°F and 400°F (180°C to 200°C). This can be done by setting the air fryer to the desired temperature and allowing it to heat up for about 5 minutes.

If you are using canned corned beef hash, simply open the can and pour the contents into the air fryer basket or pan. If you are using fresh ingredients, combine potatoes, bell peppers, onions, and any desired seasonings in a large bowl. Add vegetable oil, paprika, salt, and pepper, and stir until the potatoes are evenly coated.

Place the mixture in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. After this initial cooking time, open the air fryer and stir the hash to ensure even cooking. Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your desired level of crispiness.

For a softer hash, cook for a shorter duration, and for a crispier hash, extend the cooking time. It is important to keep an eye on the hash during the final stages of cooking to prevent overcooking or burning.

Once the hash has reached your desired level of doneness, remove it from the air fryer and serve immediately. The total cooking time should be around 15 to 20 minutes, depending on your preferences and the specific air fryer model.

How to prepare the air fryer

To prepare your air fryer for cooking corned beef hash, first line the bottom and sides of the air fryer basket with foil. Then, spray the foil with cooking spray. Next, preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes at 200°C (400°F) or 375°F. Once preheated, place your corned beef hash in the basket, or use a cake pan or another air fryer container. Set the air fryer to 370°F or 375°F and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the hash is completely tender and the top is golden brown.

Adding eggs to the dish

You can cook corned beef hash in an air fryer in 15 to 20 minutes, depending on how crispy you like it. If you want to add eggs to the dish, make four small wells in the hash and crack an egg into each one. Then, cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

Here's a more detailed guide:

First, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (or 350°F if you're using a different recipe). Place the corned beef hash in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, open the air fryer and stir the hash. Place the basket back in the air fryer and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

Now it's time to add the eggs. Make four small wells in the hash and carefully crack an egg into each well. Try not to break the yolks. Place the basket back in the air fryer and cook for another 3 to 5 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking. Keep an eye on the eggs, as they can overcook quickly.

And that's it! Your corned beef hash with eggs is ready to be served. Enjoy!

How to season the dish

When it comes to seasoning corned beef hash, it's important to remember that corned beef is already quite salty, so be sparing with the salt. You can add salt and pepper to the potatoes and onions before cooking, and then drizzle with oil and sprinkle with mixed herbs. You can also add paprika to the potato mixture.

If you want to add extra flavour to the dish, you can drizzle Worcester sauce over the corned beef and potatoes after they have been cooking for 15-20 minutes.

Finally, you can top the corned beef hash with eggs cooked to your liking. This will add extra protein and flavour to the dish.

What to serve the dish with

Corned beef hash cooked in an air fryer can be served with eggs. To do this, make wells in the hash and crack the eggs into them. Then cook for another 3-5 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
