Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Take the package of frozen hashbrowns and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- Allow the hashbrowns to thaw for about 10 minutes or until they are soft and slightly pliable.
- Once thawed, use your hands or a spoon to break up the hashbrowns into smaller, bite-sized pieces.
- Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the hashbrowns, making sure it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the hashbrowns and cheese, mixing gently.
- Add the onion powder, garlic powder, dried parsley, black pepper, and salt to the mixture, stirring until evenly dispersed.
- In a separate small bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard, mixing until smooth.
- Pour the sour cream mixture over the hashbrowns and bacon, stirring everything together until evenly coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Baking
- Scoop out small portions of the mixture and form them into bite-sized balls, placing each one on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven, leaving space between each bite.
- Bake the bites for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Carefully remove the baking sheet and let the party bites cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Serve immediately while warm, or store in an airtight container for later. Serve with dipping sauces like ranch, smoky ketchup, or aioli.
