Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen hashbrowns, shredded cheese, bacon bits, chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are incorporated.

Take about a tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into small, round patties.

Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil, and arrange the shaped patties on the sheet, ensuring there’s enough space between them.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
