Ready in 12 minutes and taste even better than the deep fried ones!

  • Total Time: 13 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Frozen tater tots

Kosher salt, or other dry seasoning

Instructions

  1. Place a single layer of frozen tater tots into the basket of your air fryer. The amount you use doesn’t matter, as long as you don’t stack any tots on top of one another. The single layer allows for the best circulation of the hot air inside the air fryer.
  2. Cook at 400 degrees for 6 minutes.
  3. Take out the basket and sprinkle a generous amount of salt or seasoning. Shake well so the tots will flip over.
  4. Cook at 400 degrees for 6-8 minutes, or until the tots reach your desired level of crispiness.

Notes

This recipe was written using a 1500-watt air fryer. A 1300-watt machine will take more time, while a 1700-watt machine will take less.

Cheese variation: top the finished tater tots with your favorite shredded cheese as soon as they come out of the air fryer.

Bacon variation: add chopped, thin sliced bacon in with the tots as they cook.
