Prep the Ingredients: Open the cans of corned beef and diced potatoes. Drain the potatoes well to remove excess liquid.
Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat.
Cook the Potatoes: Add the diced potatoes to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to get lightly browned.
Add the Corned Beef: Crumble the corned beef into the skillet with the potatoes. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Add salt to taste, keeping in mind that canned corned beef is already salty.
Mix and Cook: Stir everything together, breaking up the corned beef so it’s well mixed with the potatoes. Let cook for 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the corned beef is heated through and some of the potatoes are crispy on the edges.
Serve and Enjoy: Serve hot as is or with additional toppings like hot sauce, or store a bit of shredded cheese from your ice chest for extra flavor.
