I love my Tefal Actifry as it is so quick and easy to use and it can now replace some of my cooking on the hob, I have been using this more and more in the kitchen and it really has made life much easier. Here is one of the kid’s new favourite recipes – a corned beef hash recipe using the Actifry.
Corned beef hash cooked in an Actifry is a convenient and delicious dish that combines the flavours of tender corned beef, crispy potatoes, and savoury seasonings.
This week I have made Actifry Corned Beef Hash Recipe using the Tefal Actifry.
Corned beef hash is one of those comforting meals that’s always a hit in our house. It’s quick, hearty, and ticks all the boxes for an easy family meal. Using the ActiFry takes all the hassle out of making it – less oil, less mess, and I can get on with other bits while it cooks. Whether it’s for breakfast, lunch, or tea, this dish is a firm favourite with the kids, and I’m sure it will be for your family too!
Ingredients
Here’s everything you’ll need to make this quick and tasty dish:
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced into small cubes (or swap for sweet potatoes if you fancy something different)
- 1 large onion, diced
- 1 tin of corned beef, cut into cubes
- 1 tablespoon of oil (optional – the amount of oil depends on your ActiFry model)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional extras: diced peppers, a handful of peas, or a pinch of smoked paprika for a bit of extra flavour
- Baked beans (optional or even a fried egg to top once served)
We have this for lunch on a school day as Emmy needs to be there at 12 o’clock which doesn’t leave much time to cook, eat and leave, this is very quick and easy and goes down well with both children.
Instructions:
- Prepare Ingredients:
- Dice the cooked corned beef into small cubes.
- Peel and dice the potatoes into small cubes.
- Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.
- Preheat Actifry:
- Preheat your Actifry for a couple of minutes.
- Add Ingredients to Actifry:
- Place the diced potatoes into the Actifry basket.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes.
- Cook the potatoes for about 15-20 minutes or until they start to turn golden brown and crispy. The great thing about the Actifry is the automatic stirring paddle means you don’t have to worry about them sticking while cooking as while the hot air is cooking these, the machine automatically does the stirring for you.
- Add Onions and Garlic:
- Add the chopped onions and minced garlic to the Actifry basket with the potatoes.
- Sprinkle with paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to taste.
- Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes or until the onions are soft and fragrant.
- Incorporate Corned Beef:
- Add the diced corned beef to the Actifry basket with the potatoes and onions.
- Gently mix everything together to combine.
- Cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the corned beef is heated through and slightly crispy.
- Serve:
- Once the corned beef hash is cooked to your liking, remove it from the Actifry.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
- Serve hot as is or with fried eggs on top or Baked Beans for a hearty breakfast or brunch.
- Enjoy:
- Enjoy your delicious corned beef hash straight from the Actifry!
Tips:
- Make sure to dice the potatoes into small, uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and crispy results.
- Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can add additional herbs and spices like rosemary or thyme for extra flavour.
- If you prefer a crispier texture, you can cook the corned beef hash for a few extra minutes in the Actifry.
- Serve with your favourite condiments, such as ketchup, hot sauce, or Worcestershire sauce for added flavour.
Variations and Add-Ons
- Veggie Boost: Add diced peppers, peas, or even some chopped spinach for an extra bit of colour and nutrition.
- Flavour Boost: A sprinkle of smoked paprika, parsley, or thyme really takes it to the next level.
- Cheesy Twist: Stir in some grated cheese right before serving for a deliciously gooey finish- cheese makes everything better, doesn’t it?
Serving Suggestions
Serve with a side salad or some crusty bread to mop up all the deliciousness. For breakfast, it’s brilliant with a cup of tea or coffee. You could even go full fry-up and add beans on the side!

Sounds delicious
what a great idea! I've had an Actifry since they first hit the market, and love it, but I only use it for chips, sauté potatoes and other root veg. Oh and sausages, it cooks sausages beautifully. I must try branching out with it.
Thank you Jane. You can do great Curry in it too!
