Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage hot or mild, uncooked

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.

  4. Add the thawed hashbrowns, shredded cheddar cheese, and baking mix to the bowl.
  5. Mix thoroughly by hand until all ingredients are evenly distributed and a dough forms.
  6. Use a cookie scoop to form 1.5-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and crispy.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
