Must do this. Do you cook extra potatoes separately before, or did you use the potatoes from cooking the corned beef?

I used what was in the corned beef, which means they were mushy and wet, so I couldn't cut them very small or get the hash very dry. It was tasty but not quite what I set out to make.

Since you might be wondering, I poached the eggs using the traditional method with a little help from ring molds.

Until you said it was a poached egg, I had thought, "575 put a lot of sour cream on that hash."

Why is it when someone says you've "made a hash of something" it's considered a bad thing. Corned beef hash, for example, is awesome. Do people still say "made a hash of something" or is that an old person thing?

That's totally an old person thing. I've never heard anyone say it. Or write it. Or scrape it on the wall of a cave.
