An easy recipe for comforting corned beef potato cakes; this recipe is a great way to use up leftover boiled potatoes.

Leftover potatoes don’t last long round here. Whether served up simply in a potato salad with some mayonnaise – maybe with a pinch of curry powder added for interest, or turned into something else, they’re so versatile that whenever we’re boiling potatoes we normally chuck in a few extra just so that we have some ready cooked in the fridge.

These potato caked with corned beef are an easy and delicious way to use leftover cooked potatoesOne of our favourite ways of using them is in a fried potato cake; the contrast of the crispy outer and soft fuffy middle always goes down well. And a potato cake is so versatile: you can add cheese, or something like cabbage or brussel sprouts if you’re inspired by bubble and squeak. Here, we’re using a can of Princes corned beef; it breaks up easily into the potato, so the cakes take no time to make, and the added beefy flavour makes this a real meal in one dish.

You can easily add more potato to this dish if you have extra in the fridge; we go on about a 1:1 ratio by weight between the Princes corned beef and the potato, but you could go up to about 1.5:1 in favour of potato. If you have a houseful of hungry mouths, it’s a great way of feeding them economically.

The real secret to this dish in in making sure you chill the patties before frying them, which makes them hold together when cooking. The best way to cook them is just to place them in a pan, cook for a few minutes and only turn once. Don’t fuss them, and they’ll keep their shape. Also, once you’ve made them they’re perfect for freezing. Then when you come home on a rainy winter’s evening, just defrost and serve and you’ve got a warming hearty dish in minutes.

    I’ll have to tell my mom about Princes because I think my dad would LOVE this! He’s a meat and potatoes kind of guy!

    This sounds fantastic. I am looking on amazon right now for Princes corned beef. We don’t have it in the shops here in Ohio.

      You’ll have to get a shipment sent to you.

    Is it wrong to want to top those beautiful cakes with a fried egg and have it with buttered wheat toast?

      Oh a fried egg would be just the ticket!

    Hubby always talks fondly of his mother’s corned beef hash so I’m sure he would love me to make this, must admit I never buy corned beef in a tin but will look out for Princes and perhaps give him a treat!

      I think corned beef hash was a must have for a particular generation.

    This sounds so good! I’ve been craving meat and potatoes lately, and this has it all in one tasty package. I feel like having some of these in the freezer would be a life saver on mornings when I want a hearty, savory breakfast but don’t have time to cook, too. Yum!

    My daughter loves corned beef. I made a hash in the slow cooker with it the other week and the plates were scraped clean.

    I made something very similar to this with sweet potato. Scrummy. I love corned beef, such comfort food, just what you need in the winter months!

    Totally agree with the lady who suggested adding a fried egg. We eat loads of corned beef (Princes too) as it’s a great family staple to have on standby.
