1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or gluten-free blend)

¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions

3. In a large bowl, mix together hashbrowns, cooked sausage, cheddar cheese, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper until well combined.
4. Scoop the mixture into the muffin tin or shape into small mounds on a baking sheet. Press firmly into each cavity or shape.
5. Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until golden and crispy on top.
6. Optional: Broil for an additional 1–2 minutes for extra crunch.
7. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For best results, make sure to thoroughly drain moisture from fresh potatoes if not using frozen hashbrowns.
These bites freeze beautifully – perfect for batch cooking.
Add extra flavor with chopped bell peppers, jalapeños, or fresh herbs in the mix.
