24 bacon strips
1 (30-ounce) bag frozen, shredded hash browns, thawed
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup sliced green onions
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Cook the bacon until it is chewy and easily pliable, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Place each strip of bacon in a muffin tin, making a circle around the inside of the cup and leaving an opening for the hash browns.
In a large bowl toss together the hash browns, cheese, onions, oil, salt, and pepper. Spoon the hash brown mixture into each “bacon cup,” and gently press down on the hash browns with the back of the spoon. Bake the hash brown bites for 20 minutes.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
