In a large skillet, heat over medium heat and add the ground sausage. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned and crispy. Drain excess fat and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked sausage, frozen hashbrowns, eggs, cheese, and chosen seasonings. Mix gently until well incorporated.

Form the mixture into bite-sized balls or patties and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

In the same skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry the bites in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Transfer cooked bites to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil, then serve warm.
