Hash Brown Beef Sausage Bites
Crunchy hash browns combined with savory beef sausage, these bites make the perfect appetizer or snack for any gathering.
Ingredients
For the Bites
- 2 cups frozen hash browns (thawed and drained)
- 1 pound Halal beef sausage (crumbled)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 2 pieces green onions (sliced)
- 1 piece egg (beaten)
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- for frying tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hash browns, crumbled beef sausage, shredded cheese, sliced green onions, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until fully incorporated.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, add a few tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat.
- Using your hands, take small portions (about 2 tablespoons) of the mixture and shape them into bite-sized patties.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
- Once cooked, place the bites on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
- Transfer to a serving plate, add your favorite toppings, and enjoy!
Notes
Substitutions: You can replace the beef sausage with turkey sausage or a plant-based sausage. Make sure to preheat your skillet adequately for a crispy exterior. Squeeze out excess moisture from hash browns if too wet for better crispiness.
