Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large mixing bowl, combine the thawed hashbrowns, shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls or patties. Place them on a prepared baking sheet.

Bake for approximately 25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Let them cool for a few minutes before serving warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
