Can I Use Frozen Hashbrowns or Fresh Potatoes?

You can use either! Frozen hashbrowns are super convenient and cut down on prep time—just make sure they’re fully thawed and patted dry to avoid excess moisture. If you’re grating fresh potatoes, squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a cheesecloth or kitchen towel to get that perfect crisp.

Ingredients for the Sausage Hashbrown Bites

Each ingredient in this recipe has a purpose that brings flavor, texture, or structure to these bites.

Breakfast sausage: Brings the hearty, savory base. Use mild or spicy depending on your taste.
Shredded hashbrowns: The star texture provider. They crisp up beautifully around the edges.
Shredded cheddar cheese: Melts into gooey pockets and adds rich, sharp flavor.
Eggs: Help bind everything together and give structure.
Milk: Adds a touch of moisture and helps mix the eggs smoothly.
Salt & pepper: Essential to bring out the flavor of the other ingredients.
Parsley (optional): Adds a touch of color and freshness.

How To Make the Sausage Hashbrown Bites

Step 1: Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 375°F and grease a muffin tin well or use silicone liners for easy removal.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook your breakfast sausage until browned and crumbled. Drain any excess grease and let it cool slightly.

Step 3: Mix the Base

In a large bowl, combine shredded hashbrowns, shredded cheddar cheese, cooked sausage, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4: Fill the Muffin Tin

Scoop the mixture evenly into each muffin cup, pressing down slightly to compact. Fill them nearly to the top.

Step 5: Bake to Golden Perfection

Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and edges are crispy. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
