Move over potatoes, radishes make the crispiest and most decadent keto corned beef hash everrrrrrr. Say hi to your new low carb breakfast bestie – for real!!!
So there is currently a cauliflower and broccoli shortage here in Belize – true story. I went to buy cauliflower the other day and there was none to be found anywhere. I asked one of the workers at a local produce stand I frequent if they would be getting some soon and to my surprise she said no. Belize has put a ban on imported cauliflower and broccoli until their own growing season ends, but they didn’t produce much of either this season, so our island will be out for the foreseeable future.
Usually I’d be freaking out about this, but since radishes are plentiful and cheap here, I AIN’T EVEN MAD. I have a low carb cauliflower and corned beef hash from waaaaaaay back when IBIH first went low carb around 5 years ago – and it’s good, but this version made with radishes frankly blows that one out of the water.
Cauliflower just doesn’t crisp up like radishes do, so they are my new go-to potato replacement in fried applications and recipes like this keto corned beef hash. It’s awesome. Just LOOK. AT. IT.
Super crispy, with that salty, briny corned beef hash flavor that we love! It goes perfectly with fried eggs, or you can eat it alone like I do sometimes for lunch or dinner. It’s just that good.
Sometimes I cook it up and then spread it in a casserole dish and break my eggs into little depressions I make with a spoon. Then you bake it until the eggs are done to your liking and cut into it casserole style. So yummy and great for a crowd or brunch – you can even do it in muffin cups for individual servings. The possibilities are delicious and endless with this keto corned beef hash!
I used a good quality canned corned beef that I can get here in Belize (for $8 US per can, *gulp*!) to make this version, but if you’ve got leftover corned beef that would also be fantastic – just be sure to chop it really fine before cooking with the radishes and onions.
You’ll need to be patient with this keto corned beef hash recipe – the chemistry of the process can’t be rushed. First the radishes mellow and release their moisture and it cooks off as steam – be sure to dice them small, about 1/4 inch pieces.
Then you add the corned beef to the pan and the radishes absorb the fat (and flavor) and crisp up beautifully. The mixture goes from an unappetizing looking pink mush to crispy keto breakfast perfection in about 15 minutes.
It’s totally worth the time, I promise! Just a few minutes of prep and cooking time to a delicious low carb breakfast that even the carb-lovingest critics will rave about!!!
As a final side note, if you use sugar free corned beef this is a Whole 30 compliant dish as well!

I made this recipe last week. It tasted great. However, I don’t believe it turned out exactly quite like the picture. More on the mushy side – a dry kind of mushy. I’m thinking it was my stainless steel skillet that had a difficult time using. I watched the temperature, however I ended up with a bunch of cooked on food on the bottom of the skillet when I was finished – tough to clean. I did not get the crunchy parts I was hoping for on top. Need to rethink this next time.
I was so excited to try this because I love love love radishes. Sadly, it came out a mushy mess with awful texture. Yes, I followed the directions to the letter. Terrible waste of time and money with no meal to show for it.

I made this tonight and it was delicious. I made the recipe as stated. I really missed my corned beef hash after going low carb.
★★★★★
This is so clever! I used to love those Mary Kitchen cans of corned beef hash. I’ve never seen any without the potatoes, but I’m going to look tomorrow. This looks so good!
I couldn’t find canned hash without sugar. And it was $4 for one can! So I bought a whole corned beef for $6.50 and diced it up. Followed the rest of the recipe. Delish! Best part is I have enough made for 2 weeks for the SCKC. ?

I am for some reason a huge fan of that greasy slab of canned corned beef – reminds me of my childhood. It had never occurred to me that I could eat it on keto! I made this recipe this morning and it was delicious, salty goodness! I never would have guessed it was radishes. I’m going to eat this for breakfast a LOT. :)
I am a huge fan of savory dishes vs. sweet dishes so this completely hit the spot. I wasn’t too sure about the radishes but they turned out to be yummy and I think I even prefer them to potatoes. I was also worried that the prep would just be too much for me to do in the morning because I am a horrible morning person and can never drag myself out of bed. But it was really quick and easy and within 30 minutes I was eating a very satisfying and filling meal. I topped it with two over medium eggs and it was perfect. This will definitely be a go to dish for me.

Let me just say when I first stumbled upon this recipe months ago my first thoughts were, “Eww gross! Cooked radishes?!” Well…fast forward to a few months later and having a bunch of radishes in the fridge no one wanted to eat. I remembered this recipe and thought…hmm…let’s give it a whirl. My husband loves hashes, so if I didn’t like it he might. I need to remember to not prejudge before I try something. It was AMAZING!! My husband sucked his down so fast. I’m not sure there was any breathing in between bites. The only thing I did differently was that I used some leftover smoked brisket we had from the night before instead of canned corned beef. I NEVER thought I’d end up saying this, but thank you so much for this recipe.

This was awesome. After dicing those tiny radishes, I was wondering if running a diakon radish through a mandolin might be a time saver and just delicious? Any thoughts?
★★★★★
This recipe is PERFECT! Thanks so much for developing and posting it!

I thought the corned beef has was delish, but I could have done without the half teaspoon of salt, the canned corned beef was salty enough,
At this time of year there is a lot of daikon, Asian white radish, in the market. Do you think it would work with that instead of conventional radishes?
OH MY GOODNESS, I didn’t think it would be possible to have Hash again. I am so excited about this recipe. Its wonderful. I was worried that the radish flavor would be too strong but it isn’t. What a great recipe. Thank you so much for posting. I should admit that I didn’t use the oregano and used fresh garlic instead of powdered. Thank you so much for all your wonderful recipes. When ever I am looking for a new recipe to try, I go right to your site. Thanks again!

YUM! I used corned beef from the deli counter and ground it up in the cuisinart. Comes together fast, very tasty, and much better for you than stuff outta the can.
Quick question, would I need to drain any juice from the corned beef, or would it all just go in together?
I would drain any juice otherwise you’ll have trouble getting it to crisp up.
Hi. This looks great. Not to be dense, but… if you not using canned corned beef, does the “1 cup finely chopped corned beef, packed” need to be precooked, or raw?
I think all corned beef is cooked? But I’m not really sure actually! Cooked would be preferable I think though.
You can buy a corned beef brisket (they always have them at Costco this time of year) and you cook it yourself. I would like to make this, but I wasn’t sure if I should cook the brisket the normal way and then follow the recipe. Sounds like that’s the way to go. Thanks!
This sounds so good. Do you know the full carb count? I don’t do net. Thanks.
Sorry I don’t have that info for this recipe.
I would have done the same question, for the same reason about total vs. net counting… let’s hope that Mellissa will update the recipe (this one and the others in which it’s now missing total carb amount) with these details one day, I love her recipes!
You can just use a carb website or app and figure out the carbs based on the actual products you use to make the recipe. Always the most accurate way.
What brand of corned beef is sugar free?
Wish I knew this too. Almost all canned corned beef has added sugar!
I made this recipe 3 weeks ago and LOVED IT so much that I have made it several times since. I just bought radishes and another corned beef last night and cooked it late so I could have it AGAIN! The one I get DOES have some sugar in it, so is not WHOLE30 plus has some carbs… but I don’t know what else to get. There is only one type of canned CB, and it had preservatives, sugar, etc. HELP!! I would love for this to be Whole30 and Keto. What kind can I use and where can I get it??

Just found you and am so excited to try some of your recipes. I Bought a corned beef yesterday (for st paddy’s day), fixing it for dinner tonight so this will be our leftover meal. Thanks for all the time you put in on sharing your recipes
How did I not know about fried radishes? That radish bite is all gone and what’s left is a really delicious crispy radishy goodness. I loved this recipe and actually prefer this to hash with potatoes. Thanks for the great idea! Will definitely be making this one again.

We made this today..so good!

Thanks for the recipe. I’m going to try it. I’ve lost 29 pounds up to today. On a side note. The ads on this page seem to be messing with my iPad. When I am reading an article it keeps wanting to default to the bottom ad. Not sure what is really going on. But if I hold my finger on the place I’m reading it will go to the bottom but come back to where my finger is touching the page. Any others having similar problems?
Do these have that radish ” bitey” (not sure what to call it) taste to them?
This is one of those questions that will betray just how much of an amateur I am when it comes to cooking, but here goes: when measuring “1 cup radishes, diced to about 1/4″”, is that 1 cup before dicing or 1 cup after? Because a lot more diced radishes will fit in a cup than whole radishes. Same with the onions, really. This is something that always confuses me when following any cooking directions, and it’s why I’m far less anxiety-ridden when I can measure those types of ingredients by weight.
And yes I realize that this is probably just me over-thinking and focusing too much on “exact” measures. =)
The measurement is for the diced radishes – sorry for the confusion! I’m never sure how to write those either!
Also, as it speaks to weighing produce, I find that to be not exact either because the difference in water content (and thus weight) from one bunch of radishes (or any other veggie) to another can vary wildly as well!
Typically, if you measure something and then dice it, it will be listed as “one cup radishes, diced” vs. “one cup diced radishes” which means you measure them when already diced. This is the way it was done old school but I’m not sure if it still taught that way.
You are correct Cindy, my cookbook editor sent me the guidelines so I’ll be doing it that way from now on.
I was going to ignore corned beef this year. Until I saw this recipe. Thanks for coming up with something that sounds so delicious and reminds me of childhood!
OMG, this looks wonderful! I’ve been panfrying and roasting radishes lately and love them. I had no idea they could be cooked. Now I need to go to the store and get some corned beef to make this.
