In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground breakfast sausage and cook until browned, about 5–7 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded hashbrowns, cooled sausage, large eggs, shredded cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Using your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small, bite-sized rounds, roughly 1.5 inches in diameter.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil or cooking spray. Cook the bites about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Once cooked, transfer the Hashbrown Sausage Bites to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve warm.
