I have never eaten corned beef hash. I think it is mainly due to the fact that I am scared to add any more fattening and salty recipes to the long list of bad for you foods that I love, which just so happens to mainly consist of anything salted caramel, anything with soft cheeses, and of course anything deep fried.
So, I took a clue from one of my favorite bloggers, Gina over at Skinnytaste, and decided to make my own kind of hash that has double the flavor and way fewer calories.
For those of you who are not familiar, soyrizo is this wonderful vegan/vegetarian/gluten free product sold at Trader Joe’s that has all the flavor of ground chorizo, except minus the pork and fat. If Mike approves, trust me, you will too!
Just brown up the potatoes and onions, add in some seasoning, cook the soyrizo until crispy, and voila!
Soyrizo hash, plus some rocket (That’s what Australians call arugula—cool, right?), and a poached egg sounds like a far better combo than any diner’s corned beef hash.
Soyrizo Hash
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Author: Sarcastic Cooking
Serves: 2-4
Ingredients
- 2 Potatoes, diced (approx. 2 ½ cups)*
- ¾ Cups Diced Onion
- 1 ½ Tablespoons Unsalted Butter*
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- ¼ Teaspoon Pepper
- ¼ Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
- ½ Teaspoon Paprika
- 2 Cloves Garlic, grated
- 10 Ounces Soyrizo
Instructions
- *If you really want to amp up the healthy in this recipe, you can totally substitute olive oil for butter and sweet potatoes for regular potatoes! Or if you are a crazy no-carb person, substitute a few diced red and yellow peppers. This recipe will still be so good!
- Dice the potatoes. Toss the potatoes into a large bowl of ice cold salted water to soak while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Add the butter or olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat until the butter melts. Drain the potatoes and pat dry with a cloth or paper towel. Add potatoes to the pan and cook for ten minutes until some of the edges start to golden.
- Dice the onion. Add the onions to the potatoes and cook until translucent, about three to four minutes. Add garlic and seasonings to the skillet. Stir to distribute evenly. Cook for one more minute.
- Add soyrizo and begin working a wooden spoon or rubber spatula into the soyrizo to break it apart into small bits. Cook for five minutes. Remove from heat and serve.
- Soyrizo hash will last three days in the refrigerator in an air-tight container. Might I recommend using the leftovers for a lovely omelet or tacos the next night?

Thanks for the idea! I had some LightLife Chorizo-style Smart Sausages and I made this with sweet potatoes. A very tasty, hearty breakfast! I’m looking forward to topping leftovers with some roasted tomatillo salsa verde. Next time, I would do a better job of breaking up the sausages before adding them to the pan – it’s possible this varies by brand, but I found it difficult to break them up, and didn’t want to end up with mashed hash.
I am new to Trader Joe’s (I know, what took me so long??) and will definitely be looking for Soyrizo the next time I’m there. This looks like the perfect breakfast!
You must hit up Trader Joe’s more often girl! I find a lot of things are cheaper there than at my local Dominick’s/Jewel.
I found soyrizo at Sprouts grocery about 2 months ago and I have been making a breakfast dish very similar to this. We love it!
Sometimes I add mushrooms or cheese to it too.
…does it make me a bad food blogger if anything with the word “soy” in it makes me anxious?
Wait. I already don’t like chocolate. So there’s that in my “bad food blogger” column…
I want to try this, but I’m nervous!
That looks fantastic! So glad to have found your site!!
Does anyone know if other stores carry “Soyrizo” or anything similar? I love the sound of this recipe, but the nearest Trader Joe’s is 30 miles away. Thanks!
I know that Whole Foods sells something similar and that Jewel and Dominick’s carry a vegetarian ground beef made by Morningstar and Boca that would cook up similarly. You might just need to add a little more seasoning.
Thanks, Stef! I’ll try that – I have a great Pampered Chef Southwestern Seasoning I could add, or maybe some PC Chipotle Rub.
