Directions

YIELD: 6 SERVINGS

In a medium-size saucepan over high heat, bring the potatoes and enough water to cover, to a boil and reduce the heat to medium -low and simmer, covered, 30 minutes until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a sharp knife. Drain and let stand until cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, finely chop the corn beef and onion then finely chop the cooled potatoes. Place in a large bowl and toss to mix well.

Season the mixture with salt and shape into 6 large patties each about ½-inch thick. In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, melt 1 Tbls of the butter and add 2 patties cooking until browned on both sides. Remove from the skillet to a heated platter and keep warm.

Repeat the procedure with the remaining patties, using an additional 2 Tbls of butter for them. Wipe out the skillet and return to medium heat. Melt 2 Tbls of butter in the skillet and fry the eggs in batches to the desired degree of doneness, adding more butter if necessary. Top each patty with a fried egg and serve immediately with buttered toast and jelly.
