Notes
Corned beef brisket:
I like to use point cut corned beef brisket. Point cut is a fattier cut that's perfect for slow cooking.
Beef broth:
I like to use no salt broth in this recipe because corned beef can be salty.
Beer:
I use Guinness. If you'd like to skip the beer, you can use water in place of the beer.
Potatoes:
If your potatoes are small (golf-ball sized or smaller), halve the potatoes.
Onion:
White or yellow onion works well. Sweet onion also works well.
Butter:
You can use salted or unsalted butter depending on how much salt you'd like the dish to have.
