- Turn hash browns over and cook remaining side.
- Transfer hash browns to a serving skillet or microwavable glass dish; set aside.
- Meanwhile, fry sausage in skillet or griddle.

- Stack bacon slices on top of each other.
- Cut bacon in half lengthwise, then in ¼-inch pieces.
- Fry bacon until done.
- Remove to paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess grease.

- To serving skillet with hash browns, (or microwavable glass dish), sprinkle cheeses over top of hash browns.

Notes
NOTE: If you’re on a time crunch, it is easier to prepare the sausage and bacon in advance. Then add as needed and heat as described above.
NOTE: You can also pre-cook the hash browns. Use as directed in recipe.
NOTE: I recommend using either a non-stick skillet or griddle for this recipe. If you try to make more than one serving, it is easier to pre-cook the potatoes and meats.
NOTE: This is enough for one very hearty appetite. You may find that you get two servings out of each skillet, instead of merely one.
NOTE: My potatoes were frozen. If your potatoes are thawed, they won't take quite as long to cook.
NOTE: Since this recipe is quite involved, I highly recommend you read through the directions and follow my step-by-step pictures in this post to get the best results.
