Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and ensure the oven rack is in the middle position.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hashbrowns, shredded cheese, bacon bits, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into round patties. Aim for about 20 uniform patties.

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden-brown and crisp.
Let the bites cool for a few minutes before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
