Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed (or fresh grated potatoes)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (sharp cheddar recommended)
  • 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 1 can refrigerated biscuit dough (8 biscuits, or homemade equivalent)
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing tops)
  • Optional: Pinch of smoked paprika (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, combine hash browns, cheddar cheese, bacon, sour cream, green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Open biscuit dough and separate into 8 rounds. If using homemade dough, divide into 8 balls (about 2 ounces each).
  4. Flatten each biscuit round into a disk about 4 inches across. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of filling into the center.
  5. Gather edges of dough around filling, pinch to seal, and form a ball.
  6. Place bombs seam-side down on prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with smoked paprika if desired.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, rotating pan halfway, until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before serving.
  9. Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions or a dollop of sour cream if desired.

Notes

Keep ingredients cold for best texture. Do not overfill bombs to prevent leaks. Seal dough edges tightly. Bake on parchment for easy cleanup. Let cool before eating to avoid burns from hot cheese. For gluten-free or vegetarian adaptations, use GF biscuit dough or omit bacon and add veggies. Prep filling ahead for faster assembly.
