Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Sausage
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until it’s browned and crumbly.
Drain off any excess grease and let it cool slightly.
Step 2: Mix It All Together
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, thawed hashbrowns, cheeses, eggs, flour (if using), and seasonings.
Stir until everything is evenly coated — the mixture should hold together when pressed.
Step 3: Shape the Bites
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll them into balls (or press into mini muffin tins for uniform shape).
Step 4: Bake Until Golden
Place the bites on the baking sheet and bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until they’re crisp, golden brown, and sizzling.
🌶️ Optional Add-Ins
-
Jalapeños – for an extra spicy punch.
