Stop the machine when all the butter has been incorporated. Taste and adjust the seasoning with lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Thin the hollandaise with a little water if it is too thick.

Add the corned beef, vegetables,and chives; cook until the bottom is brown and crisp, about 5 to 10 minutes. Poach the eggs: Serve: Place 1/4 of the hash onto a warm plate or shallow bowl. Top with a poached egg and a couple of tablespoons of hollandaise; garnish with chives.
