Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground breakfast sausage hot or mild, uncooked
  • 30 oz frozen shredded hashbrowns thawed
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1.5 cups baking mix like Bisquick
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Equipment

  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie scoop

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Ensure hashbrowns are thawed. If excessively wet, pat dry with paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the uncooked sausage and softened cream cheese until well combined.
  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.

Notes

Serve with maple syrup or spicy ranch for dipping. These can be frozen before baking.
