Brisket hash is one of the best ways to use leftover brisket from Shabbat or a holiday meal. Diced potatoes are fried until crisp in oil and schmaltz with onion and garlic, then tossed with shredded brisket, a splash of beef stock, thyme and parsley.
Crispy Potatoes, Moist Brisket
Cut the potatoes into small, even cubes so they cook quickly and have more surface for browning, and dry them well. Cook them in a single layer without stirring too often, so a crust forms on the bottom. Add the brisket near the end with a splash of stock, which keeps the meat moist while it warms through. Add more stock if the brisket seems dry.
Kosher Notes
This is a meat (fleishig) dish. Schmaltz (rendered chicken fat) adds rich flavor; use oil if you don’t have any. Top with fried eggs cooked in oil for a hearty brunch.
Leftovers
Hash keeps for 3 days and reheats best in a skillet, which brings back the crispness.

Method
- Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large cast iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed potatoes in a single layer and season with half the salt. Don't stir for the first 5 minutes to let them develop a golden crust.
- Stir the potatoes and continue cooking for another 10-12 minutes, stirring every 3-4 minutes, until they're golden brown and crispy on multiple sides. Push potatoes to one side of the skillet.
- Add remaining tablespoon of oil and the schmaltz to the empty side of the pan. Add the diced onions and cook for 5-6 minutes until softened and starting to caramelize.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir the onions and garlic into the potatoes.
- Add the shredded brisket to the pan along with beef stock, remaining salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir gently to combine and heat through, about 3-4 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in fresh parsley and thyme. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve immediately while the potatoes are still crispy.
