Corned Beef Hash has been a Berghoff's favorite since Prohibition days. It became so popular that it moved from the breakfast to the lunch menu and remained there until the restaurant closed in 2006. Some say the dish originated in New England as a way to use the leftovers from a traditional New England boiled dinner. Our version is exceptionally tasty because of the generous amount of corned beef, and it's exceptionally easy to make because it is oven-baked. Top each portion with a fried or poached egg.
Preheat the oven to 325-degrees F. In a 12-inch skillet, heat the oil until hot. Over medium heat, saute the onions until transparent, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the scallions. In a large bowl, stir together the corned beef and potatoes. Add the onion mixture and toss to mix. Season with salt and pepper, and toss again. Transfer to a deep 3-quart baking dish and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until heated through. Serve with your favorite style eggs.
