Ingredients:
– 1 pound breakfast sausage, casings removed 
– 1 package (30 oz) frozen hashbrowns 
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 
– 1/2 cup finely chopped onion 
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional) 
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder 
– 1 teaspoon paprika 
– Salt and black pepper to taste 
– Cooking spray or oil for greasing 
Procedure:
1. Cook the Sausage: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the breakfast sausage until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside. 
2. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or oil. 
3. Prepare the Hashbrowns: In a large bowl, combine the frozen hashbrowns, shredded cheddar cheese, finely chopped onion, parsley (if using), garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
4. Assemble the Bites: Spoon a small amount of the hashbrown mixture into each cup of the mini muffin tin. Press down gently to pack them in. Top each with a small amount of cooked sausage.
5. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the hashbrowns are crispy and golden brown. 
6. Serve: Allow the bites to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm.
