Ingredients You’ll Need

If you don’t have leftover corned beef, any deli can slice some for you—then dice or shred it to fill the potatoes.

• Cooked corned beef: Leftovers diced or shredded, or deli corned beef cut to your preferred texture.
• Baby red potatoes: Small red or yellow potatoes work well; microwave steam-in-bag varieties speed up prep.
• Cheddar cheese: Sharp cheddar adds great flavor; use your favorite cheddar if you prefer.
• Chives: Optional, for a pop of color and light onion flavor. Salt and pepper to taste.

How To Make

This is a straightforward leftover recipe with minimal steps. Prep a bit, assemble, and bake until the cheese is bubbly.

• Cook the potatoes: Microwave steam-bag potatoes per package directions, or boil or bake small potatoes until fork-tender.
• Slice and scoop: Let potatoes cool enough to handle, slice lengthwise, and remove a bit of the center to make space for the filling. Arrange on a baking sheet and season with salt and pepper.

• Fill and bake: Spoon diced or shredded corned beef into each potato half, top with shredded cheddar, and bake at 400°F until the cheese melts and everything is warmed through. Garnish with chopped chives and serve.

What If I Don’t Have Leftover Corned Beef?

Buy corned beef from the deli—about 3/4 pound is a good amount for this recipe. Ask for slices thick enough to dice, or thinner slices you can chop or shred, depending on the texture you prefer for the filling.

Variations

These little potatoes are a great canvas for other proteins and flavors. Try these ideas:

• Ground beef: Cooked and seasoned, topped with American or cheddar cheese; add pickles for a cheeseburger vibe.
• Italian sausage: Cooked and crumbled with oregano and garlic, topped with mozzarella and a spoonful of marinara.
• Shredded chicken: Toss with barbecue, teriyaki, or buffalo sauce and top with your favorite cheese.

How Long Does Leftover Corned Beef Last In The Fridge?

Leftover cooked corned beef should be used within 3–4 days. Turning it into a new dish like these stuffed potatoes doesn’t extend the safe refrigeration time. If you make the potatoes on day two of the corned beef, finish them within a couple more days to stay within that window.
