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 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!

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!

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!

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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. ?

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. :)
