Corned beef hash may be the perfect St. Patrick’s Day breakfast, but the moment I hear the words “corned beef,” my mouth automatically starts watering for a Reuben sandwich. Which got me thinking, why not combine all the amazing Reuben flavors I love with the crispy, crunchy potato-y goodness of corned beef hash? So I gave it a whirl.

Guess what? It's incredible. Think, golden crispy potatoes and onions, salty meaty corned beef, tangy sauerkraut, creamy Swiss cheese, rye toast croutons and, of course, thousand island dressing. This one has it all and more.

The hash alone would make an amazing dinner. Just pair it with a salad and you’re all set. But I went the breakfast route, and you know what that means? Yep. I put an egg on it.

This is hangover food at its finest, my friends. If you’re planning on indulging in a few Irish beverages this St. Patrick's Day, stock your fridge beforehand for breakfast the next morning. You’ll feel lucky that you did!

Add sauerkraut to the pan and toss until evenly combined. Top hash mixture with Swiss cheese and continue to cook until cheese has melted, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper as needed.
