Ingredients
  

2 cups grated russet potatoes (about 2 medium potatoes)

1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1/4 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (or vegetarian bacon)

1 large egg

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it with cooking spray or a light coating of olive oil.

    Prepare the Potatoes: After grating the russet potatoes, place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, twist tightly, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial for achieving crispy hash browns.

      Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, cooked bacon, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated and mixed.

        Fill the Muffin Tin: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture into each muffin cup, pressing down gently to compact it. Fill all the cups.

          Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.

            Cool and Serve: Remove the mini breakfast bites from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, use a fork or a small spatula to gently lift the bites out. Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions if desired.

              Optional Serving Suggestions: Pair your Mini Hash Brown Breakfast Bites with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, or a drizzle of hot sauce for an extra kick!
