Southwest Brisket Breakfast Hash

You’ve probably heard of corned beef hash. It’s a staple where I come from. But have you tried Southwest hash? It’s corned beef’s southern cousin. Since moving to Texas and falling in love with the way they do brisket, we wanted to find a way to use up our smoked brisket leftovers, and this recipe was born.

This isn’t the most healthy recipe you’ve ever had, but sometimes a hearty dish just can’t be ignored 😉

You don’t need a cast iron skillet for this dish, but you will need something that will handle medium high heat for a sustained amount of time and produce a nice crisp potato and brisket. We find that cast iron stays hot, distributes heat well, and always gives us a nice dark cook on our potatoes.
