Direct from England, the Famous Corned Beef Hash Recipe from The Albert Square Chophouse.
This corned beef hash recipe takes some time to make, but it’s well worth it!
While filming recently in Manchester, England at The Albert Square Chophouse, we were able to try a variety of traditional English and Manchester dishes. One of our favorites was the tender, tasty corned beef hash. We were excited when this historic restaurant, housed in an old Victorian warehouse, agreed to share the recipe, so we could share it with you. This would be a great dish to make for the holidays or a special occasion.
