Melt 2-3 tablespoons of beef tallow in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add 1 diced yellow onion to the skillet and cook until browned and tender, stirring occasionally.

Boil 2 Yukon gold potatoes until soft, cool them in water, and slice them into bite-sized pieces.

Add the sliced potatoes to the skillet, placing them carefully to keep their shape and crisp them up.

Gently mash the potatoes down into the tallow to help them crisp, but avoid mashing them completely.

Season the potatoes with coarse ground black pepper.

Add the chopped corned beef to the skillet, scattering it over the potatoes and onions.

Fold the mixture gently to combine and allow the corned beef to warm and crisp up.

Season with garlic powder and smoked paprika, tasting before adding salt due to the saltiness of the corned beef.

If the mixture gets dry, add a little beef broth or more beef tallow as needed.

Continue cooking until everything is crispy and well combined.
