Instructions
1. Cook the breakfast sausage in a skillet over medium heat until fully browned. Drain excess fat from the pan and set the cooked sausage aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked sausage, thawed hash browns, onion, cheese, flour, eggs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly distributed.
3. In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F.
4. Scoop the sausage hashbrown mixture into small balls or patties and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
5. Remove the appetizers from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
