Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Mixture
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hashbrowns, ground sausage, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Crack in the eggs and mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
Step 3: Shape the Bites
- Use a spoon or your hands to form the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Place each ball on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about an inch apart.
Step 4: Bake to Perfection
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sausage bites are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Perfect Crispy Bites
- Don’t Overmix: Mixing too vigorously can make the hashbrowns mushy, so combine ingredients gently.
