Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked corned beef, shredded
  • 2 cups cooked potatoes, mashed
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded corned beef, mashed potatoes, chopped onion, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried parsley, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into small croquettes, about 1.5 inches in diameter. You can also make them any shape you prefer, such as round or oval-shaped.
  3. Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Dip each croquette into the beaten eggs, then coat it in the breadcrumbs, making sure all sides are evenly coated.
  4. In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. Remove the croquettes from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining croquettes.
  6. Serve the corned beef hash croquettes hot with your favorite dipping sauce. They can be enjoyed as a standalone snack or served with eggs for a delicious breakfast or brunch option.
