Ingredients

8 ounces medium Yukon Gold potatoes (about 2), scrubbed
8 ounces beets (about 3), scrubbed
Â¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more as needed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large red onion, peeled and quartered
Â½ cup crÃ¨me fraÃ®che
2 tablespoons horseradish
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 large asparagus spears, shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler, tops quartered, bottoms trimmed
2 carrots, peeled and shaved into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
1 tablespoon chopped mint
1 cup pea tendrils or arugula or other tender greens
Â½ cup shredded corned beef (optional)
3 scallions, thinly sliced on the bias
Â¾ cup grated dry jack or Cheddar
2 tablespoons butter, plus more as needed
2 eggs, fried soft in butter

Steps:

Heat the oven to 425. Rub the potatoes and beets with a bit of oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and wrap individually in foil. Put on a rimmed baking sheet, and roast until easily pierced with the tip of a sharp knife, 40 to 60 minutes, depending on their size. (Remove as they are done.) Toss the onions in enough olive oil to coat. When the potatoes and beets are about halfway into their cooking time, add the onions to the pan, and roast, turning occasionally until theyâre tender but not caramelized, 20 to 25 minutes. Combine the crÃ¨me fraÃ®che and horseradish in a small bowl, and season with salt, pepper and lemon juice to taste. Combine the asparagus, carrots, mint and greens in a bowl. Just before serving, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 2 teaspoons lemon juice; add 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and toss. Taste, and adjust the seasoning, adding more of whatever youâd like. When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, crush them with your hands; peel and trim the beets, and chop to about the same size; same with the onions. Mix with the corned beef if youâre using it, along with the scallions, cheese and some salt and pepper. Put 2 tablespoons each of olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot but not smoking, add the potatoes and beets, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Shake the pan to form a single layer, and cook undisturbed, but adjusting the heat as necessary so that the vegetables sizzle and bubble. Add more butter if the pan looks dry, but the hash should never look oily. Cook until the potatoes and beets are golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 10 minutes. Turn, taste, adjust the seasoning, then sprinkle with some lemon juice and salt. Serve topped with a fried egg and a bit more lemon juice, with the asparagus salad on the side.
