Corned Beef Hash Cakes
I like this as a dinner served with a simple green salad but hash cakes are obviously also fantastic for breakfast or brunch. Just top it with a poached or fried egg and a little toast and presto! You can also fry the hash loose rather than forming it into cakes which works really well [...]
