Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 680 g corned beef
- 4 large potatoes
- 3 carrots
- 1 large onion
Supporting Ingredients:
- 550 ml beef stock
- 50 g unsalted butter
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
Serving Suggestion:
- 1 crusty bread
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 360°F and thoroughly coat a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Create the first potato layer using 1 sliced potato, spreading it evenly across the dish’s bottom.
- Sprinkle ⅓ of the sliced onions, carrots, and ¼ of the corned beef over the potato layer.
- Season this layer with a pinch of salt and a dash of black pepper.
- Repeat the potato, vegetable, and meat layering process two more times, ensuring even distribution.
- Top the final layers with the remaining sliced potatoes as a crisp finishing layer.
- Carefully pour 2 ¼ cups of beef stock uniformly across the entire casserole.
- Drizzle 4 tablespoons of melted butter over the top potato layer.
- Cover the dish completely with parchment paper and aluminum foil.
- Bake at 360°F for 50 minutes, keeping the dish tightly sealed.
- Remove the parchment and foil, exposing the potato surface.
- Continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes until potatoes turn golden and crisp.
- Allow the casserole to rest for 5 minutes before serving with warm crusty bread.
Notes
- Check potato slicing thickness to ensure even cooking and consistent texture throughout the dish.
- Consider using a mandoline for uniform, thin potato slices that will crisp beautifully on top.
- Substitute corned beef with cooked ground beef or plant-based protein for vegetarian adaptations.
- Salt and pepper each layer sparingly to prevent overseasoning the entire casserole.
