Leftovers that got a promotion and a crispy edge.
means A skillet dish of chopped corned beef, potatoes, and onions fried together until a crust forms on the bottom.
from 'Corned' has nothing to do with corn — it refers to the coarse grains ('corns') of salt once used to cure and preserve beef before refrigeration existed. 'Hash' comes from the French 'hacher,' meaning 'to chop,' the same root that gives us 'hatchet.' So the name is really just an honest receipt: salt-cured beef, chopped up and fried.
