Replace the potatoes in a corned beef hash with something that isn't starchy?
I am following a low-carb diet, and would like to make corned beef hash at home with left over corned beef brisket. Onions are no problem, but I would prefer to avoid root vegetables, and potatoes in particular. What would make a good substitute, in terms of texture and taste?

Cauliflower might work. I've put cauliflower in a food processor to get it to a uniform small-ish size, and then stir-fried it until soft, as a low-carb substitute for rice. Maybe you could dice it into small pieces and do the same. Boiling or steaming instead of stir-frying may give you a softer potato-like texture.

Starchy is kind of the nature of hash. I am not sure that you would still have a hash if you eliminate the potatoes, but you should get something delicious in any case.
