Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fresh potatoes instead of frozen hashbrowns?

Yes, but you’ll need to shred and squeeze out the moisture from fresh potatoes to avoid sogginess.

How do I make them spicy?

Add chopped jalapeños or use hot breakfast sausage for a spicy version.

Can I add vegetables?

Absolutely! Diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach work great. Just sauté them first to remove excess moisture.

Are these bites gluten-free?

Yes, as long as your sausage is gluten-free, the rest of the ingredients typically are too.

What cheese substitutes work well?

Monterey Jack, pepper jack, or a cheddar blend are tasty options.
