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!

Artemis says
Sounds excellent but can I use small turnips (in UK the small round white root vegetable with a purplish top) instead of radish – I have some to use up but would still want the crunch.
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
Yes you definitely can sub the radishes with similar results!
Gillian says
I left a comment last year about my love of this recipe; it’s delicious, satisfying and very filling! I’ve made it a number of times and I’m wondering if you have any tips for me as I just cannot seem to get it to crisp up! It makes me a little crazy that I can’t figure out what’s wrong and I think that I’m following the recipe precisely. The radishes will start to crisp when I cook them but when I add the corned beef it just won’t crisp up. I’ve even pre-portioned the servings after it’s cooked and tried to crisp it in cast iron pan because I thought maybe the fact that I doubled the recipe meant the pan was too full to crisp it. Thanks in advance for any advice!! (I used Hereford canned corned beef and there wasn’t any liquid).

Cindy says
This recipe is the only reason to make corned beef ;)

Lisa says
I posted this a few years ago to my keto and migraine groups. it actually works BEST with Daikon radishes. daikon is less spicy tasting and comes out more like potatoes. Radish is a great sub for potatoes.
I use uncured corned beef due to my migraines. all you have to do is put it through a spin in your nutribullet to get that canned texture. you can also do with left over roast beef you don’t know what to do with. I put the onions in the nutribullet with the meat to help it soften a bit.
★★★★
Deb says
I was really hesitant about this, but it tured out sooo good! Salty, crispy with a fried egg on top. I might eat this for breakfast every day. I even used cheap Great Value corned beef and it was the bomb. You were correct that patience was the key, took about a half hour from the time the onions & radishes hit the pan. Thank you!

Lisa Matarazzo says
You know what they say about Breakfast being the most important way to start your day! I love this for Sunday breakfast with poached eggs. Yum!

Steve says
I have seriously missed corned beef hash over the 5 years I have been on Keto. I have made this recipe several times with various tweaks until perfection! Recommended tweaks: replace oregeno with smoked paprika. Use Libby corned beef hash as other brands can be low quality. Complete up to step 8 the night before breakfast. This amount will equal about 3 servings. Place one serving a piece into individual storage containers and refrigerate. When ready for breakfast preheat pan to medium high. When preheated, place one tablespoon vegetable/canola oil into pan and drop individual hash into oil (once shimmering). Cook for 1.5 minutes pressing down on hash to flatten like a hamburger patty. Flip over and cook anoth 1.5 minutes and hash is ready in 3 minutes. Serve with Franks hot sauce and just WOW!

Robert Carr says
I made this for breakfast tomorrow (and through the week). After the 10 minute cooking time, I moved the entire batch to a large bowl. Then scooped 1/2 cup portions back into the hot skillet and pressed down with a bacon press. I stored the resulting patties in Tupperware with waxed paper dividers.
★★★★★
Jan says
This was very good. We made with chopped beef (the kind you would use for a cheesesteak) and omitted the oregano. Glad we made a double batch because it was gone quickly! Whole family loved it.
★★★★★
Dana says
This was absolutely delicious! Thanks for sharing. I added an extra cup of Radishes so It’d be a better ratio for my liking. So good!
★★★★★
Barbara Owen says
Excellent recipe Melissa! Thank you.
I even adapted it with small dice leftover ham which I had previously frozen. I would use the ham in soups and other slow cooked dishes. The defrosted ham was cut up into smaller pieces and I followed the recipe. It was very delicious and I would make it this way again if I don’t have corned beef available. Even the picky eaters enjoyed it.
★★★★★
Casey Loranger says
After my breakfast attempt fail with the strawberry coconut smoothie, my husband and I were starving so I made this. It came out quite well and we both liked the taste and texture. I think I will cut the oregano in half the next time I make this dish.
I served it with an egg over easy on top.
★★★★★
Angela Kirby says
Absolutely love this! I was skeptical as I’d never eaten radishes before, very nice surprise. I’ll be cooking with radishes from now on.
★★★★★
Trish says
Oh my goodness!! Mellissa, you continue to blow my mind. Can I say incredible?! This was absolutely, insanely delicious, not even exaggerating. Thank you so much for all the hard work and effort you put into creating your recipes! I’ve only been keto for a short while now and your recipes don’t make me miss anything. (I even put a bit of sugar free homemade ketchup on, to top it off. Next time I’ll use some mustard and have it that way!)
★★★★★
Lauren says
This is amazing. I used a can of corned beef. I will prob double the radishes next time to get closer to the classic hash texture.
★★★★★
archk says
I love all your books and recipes! :-)
As I don’t eat beef or pork, I am always looking to modify some of your recipes…and honestly…i feel they always come out so good.
Can I replaced beef with turkey sausage for this recipe?
Do I have to any other changes? Thank you!! :-)
Mellissa Sevigny says
That would definitely change the flavor profile quite a bit but it should still be tasty!
Mary Ford says
I’m newer to Keto/low carb eating. I know if I don’t find good substitutes for carb heavy dishes I won’t make it. I love corned beef hash so thought this would be a good day to try it. I’m 60 years old and never knew radishes could be cooked! Now I’m thinking what else I can cook them in. This was a very tasty dish, easy to make and not as greasy as the canned corned beef hash. Will be including this as a weekend breakfast treat. Good job!
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks Mary!
Linda says
Mary
I never liked radishes til 4 years ago when i went Keto. Red or daikon are great in soups. Spiralize daikon for peppery doodles. Roast red peppers with onions for a tasty side dish.
Dewey says
This dish has become my go-to when I’m craving that crispy, salty deliciousness of corned beef hash. I was used to the canned hash (versus homemade) so I double up on the radishes to more closely create what I’m familiar with. Awesome with a fried egg or two on top. Thanks so much!
★★★★★
Gillian says
This is amazing! I found this using the SCK plan and I’m going to make this recipe over and over again! My husband loves corned beef hash and this is a perfect substitute that you can’t tell it’s radishes. I really need to know if this can this be frozen after cooking?? Thank you for the recipe!
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
I’ve never tried freezing it, but theoretically I don’t see why it couldn’t work?
KN says
Is this recipe meant to use one cup of radishes, diced, or should it be one cup of diced radishes? Those are two very different measurements and the latter seems more proportionately appropriate. Thanks!
Mellissa Sevigny says
One cup of diced radishes is the correct amount.
Rei says
Wow! I can’t believe how delicious this was! My family aren’t usually fans of radishes, but they were simply perfect in this dish. I’m already planning to make it again.
★★★★★
Mellissa Sevigny says
So happy to hear it Rei! We have this one a lot also!
Kelly says
Have been keto for a couple of months but have been missing a greasy can of corned beef hash for awhile, this was definitely what I needed. Made exactly per the instructions except maybe crisped it for a little longer because I like it extra crispy. I would definitely skip the Mexican oregano next time and maybe skip the salt as well. Just didnt feel that either was necessary, but other then that it was delish and I didn’t miss the potatoes at all
★★★★
Saltwater says
First day and first breakfast on Squeaky Clean. So yummy, it ended up so crisp and so flavorful! Subbed shallots for onions, but true to recipe for everything else. Hubby loves corned beef hash and said it was very hard to tell the difference. Thank you so much for providing all of the support information, we are looking to reset our weight loss and detox after being stuck at home for months now.

Jacob Michael Burchfield says
Never had Hash before. Made this with leftover corned beef brisket and it was amazing!!!!! TY for the recipe. Today I learned that radishes are not so spicy if you cook them a little.
★★★★★
May says
I made it today with some left over corned beef. It was delicious. It’s surprising how the texture of the radish cooked is like potatoes. Thanks for the great recipe.

Left a previous comment – omitted star rating in my error. I’m a rookie at this and just getting started. Tastes great.
★★★★★
Renee says
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.
Linda says
Hi Renee,
I chose to use a Non Stick frying pan, it got beautifully crispy and didn’t have to be scraped off, it just lifted off in chunks without any mess! So that’s the way to go I think!
Excellent recipe Mellissa!!! I am REALLY enjoying the 7 day SCKC meal plan and happily dropping the weight without being HANGRY! I did your soup diet first as well with great results. Love your programs, Love your Recipes and I Enjoy your personality!!
Thanks so much for sharing! 👍👍 Linda

Mellissa Sevigny says
Thanks so much Linda! 😘
Cris says
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.

Missy says
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.

Jan Johnson says
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!
Stephanie Marnell says
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. ?
★★★★★
Celeste says
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. :)
Natalie says
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.
★★★★★
Rebecca says
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.
★★★★★
Yvonne says
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?
★★★★★
maria says
This recipe is PERFECT! Thanks so much for developing and posting it!
★★★★★
Karen says
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,
Karen says
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?
DIANE LYON says
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!

April says
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.
Neymorra says
Quick question, would I need to drain any juice from the corned beef, or would it all just go in together?
Mellissa Sevigny says
I would drain any juice otherwise you’ll have trouble getting it to crisp up.
matt says
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?
Mellissa Sevigny says
I think all corned beef is cooked? But I’m not really sure actually! Cooked would be preferable I think though.
matt says
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!
Claudia Miller says
This sounds so good. Do you know the full carb count? I don’t do net. Thanks.
Mellissa Sevigny says
Sorry I don’t have that info for this recipe.
Roberta says
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!
Sam L says
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.
Leslie says
What brand of corned beef is sugar free?
Cat says
Wish I knew this too. Almost all canned corned beef has added sugar!
Mary says
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??

Gizelle R says
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.

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?
Dee says
Do these have that radish ” bitey” (not sure what to call it) taste to them?
Rob Miles says
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. =)
Mellissa Sevigny says
The measurement is for the diced radishes – sorry for the confusion! I’m never sure how to write those either!
Mellissa Sevigny says
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!
Cindy says
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.
Mellissa Sevigny says
You are correct Cindy, my cookbook editor sent me the guidelines so I’ll be doing it that way from now on.
Kristen Westergaard says
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!
Erica says
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.
