# How To Make It:
01 - Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add diced potatoes and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, approximately 12–15 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cabbage, grated carrot, green onions, parsley, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly coated. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
03 - Add remaining oil to the skillet and heat over medium heat. Add shredded corned beef and sauté for 2–3 minutes until heated through, stirring occasionally.
04 - Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side or microwave in a damp paper towel for 20–30 seconds until soft and pliable.
05 - Layer each tortilla with crispy potatoes as the base, followed by warm corned beef. Top generously with cabbage slaw and finish with a drizzle of sour cream.
06 - Serve immediately while tortillas are warm and potatoes remain crisp. Offer extra slaw on the side if desired.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- The crispy potatoes give you that perfect hash brown crunch in every bite
- Corned beef brings so much flavor already that the prep feels almost too easy
02 -
- Cold corned beef can be tough to shred, warm it slightly first or use two forks to pull it apart
- Do not crowd the pan when cooking potatoes or they will steam instead of crisp
03 -
- Cook potatoes in a single layer and do not stir too often or they will not get that golden crust
- Let the slaw sit for at least 10 minutes so the flavors meld together
