Cheesy Hashbrown Bites are a wonderful appetizer with cheese, bacon and potatoes. Great for an appetizer dinner or a party.
If you don’t know Lucy, Jamie or I and haven’t read our about us page, you may not know that we all live in Idaho. Yes, the state with all the potatoes.
Now if you were to say that to a Northern Idahoan, they would be irritated. They grow paper up there. Well really trees that they turn into paper. But Southern Idahoans grow potatoes and lot of them.
Many of my friends growing up grew up on potato farms. And many of my friends still grow potatoes.
Farming is a big part of life in Southern Idaho. So I could not have a Thanksgiving meal without potatoes.
I found this recipe while searching Pinterest. It ended up being easy and super yummy.
The Hardworking Husband loves potatoes, but he loves bacon even more. And these Cheesy Hashbrown Bites combine all we love – potatoes, cheese, & bacon!

I made these for Christmas and they were delicious! So easy and so good. I substituted the dehydrated potatoes for the frozen ones (just hydrate them as instructed on the box first) and also subbed in the fully cooked bacon as I had some I needed to use. Can't wait to share this recipe with friends and family!

I want to make these for a grad party brunch. Do you think they can be made ahead of time and heated up later?

I think it would work if you heat them in the oven at 350 until they are hot.

I'm so sorry it the measurement wasn't there. I have corrected it. I hope you'll try them again. When we converted recipes from one recipe card software to another some things got lost. Thanks for pointing out the problem.
