Corned Beef Hash vs Bauernfrühstück (German Farmer's Breakfast)

Both dishes build on crisp, golden pan-fried potatoes, onion and butter, yet they finish in very different ways. Corned Beef Hash starts with parboiled potato cubes, folds in chunky corned beef and is pressed down for extra crispness before whole eggs are cracked into wells and cooked under a lid until the yolks stay runny. Bauernfrühstück fries raw potatoes in rendered bacon fat, adds onion late to caramelize lightly, then pours whisked eggs over everything so they set into one savory layer. Fresh parsley brightens both at the end.
