INSTRUCTIONS:
- 1st Step – Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking sheet with cooking oil or line it with parchment paper.
- 2nd Step – Cook Sausage and Onions:
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground breakfast sausage until browned and cooked through. Add finely chopped onions to the skillet and sauté until they are softened and translucent. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- 3rd Step – Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hashbrown potatoes, cooked sausage and onion mixture, shredded cheddar cheese, eggs, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined and evenly distributed.
- 4th Step – Form Bites:
Take about a tablespoon or so of the mixture and roll it into a compact ball or bite-sized shape. Place the formed bites onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a bit of space between each one.
- 5th Step – Bake to Perfection:
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the Crunchy Hashbrown Sausage Bites for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- 6th Step – Garnish and Serve:
Once baked, remove the bites from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness if desired. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is.
Tips for Success:
- Ensure the hashbrowns are thawed completely and excess moisture is squeezed out to prevent the bites from being too wet.
- Use your favorite breakfast sausage for added flavor, such as maple or spicy varieties.
- Experiment with different cheeses like mozzarella, pepper jack, or a blend for unique flavor profiles.
- For a crispier exterior, you can brush the bites lightly with oil before baking.
