  1. Now, let’s get cooking! Start by heating a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes until it softens.
  2. Next, Dice the leftover corned beef and potatoes. Place into a bowl and add the cooked red onion. Miz the corned beef, potatoes, and red onion together. It should be a course mash consistently.
