Red Flannel Hash is a New England tradition that is typically served the day after a corned beef and cabbage dinner.  The bright red color of the beets gives this simple dish of leftover meats and vegetables its name. 

Like every recipe, there are a few variations that are just as good.  Calico Hash includes the addition of turnips, carrot, and cabbage; Green Mountain Hash uses ground beef or steak instead of corned beef; Pork & Hash uses salt pork or bacon instead od corned beef, and Corned Beef Hash does not include beets and it is served with cabbage as a side dish.  So gather up those leftovers and enjoy!

  • 1-1/2 cups cooked beets, chopped
  • 1-1/2 cups boiled potatoes, chopped

  • ¼ cup milk or cream
Mix all ingredients together and moisten slightly with milk.  Put into well buttered skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally until thoroughly heated.   Continue to cook until a browned crust forms underneath.  Turn out onto platter and serve hot.  Corn bread makes a wonderful accompaniement to this dish.
