1

Put the potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil.

Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until almost tender but still firm, about 15 minutes.

Cook the beef in a large cast iron or nonstick skillet over medium heat until the fat starts to render.

Stir the green onions, salt, and pepper into the beef.

Add the garlic and butter; cook and stir until the butter melts and the garlic is fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Stir the potatoes, salsa, and a pinch of salt into the beef mixture.

Press the mixture down in the skillet with a spatula and divide the hash into 4 sections.

Flip the sections and cook until a crust forms on the bottom, about 5 minutes more.
