Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 1 bag frozen tater tots
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.5 g) salt
  • dipping sauce optional

Instructions
 

  • Add tater tots to the air fryer basket or tray (how many you can fit depends on the capacity of your air fryer). There is no need to spray the tots with oil.
  • Cook at 400° F (205°C) for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Add additional time if you prefer your tater tots crispier.
  • Sprinkle with salt. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Prepared frozen tater tots do not need any oil added to them in the air fryer. They are pre-fried with oil that will make them crispy without adding any more.
  • You can make your own tater tots if you wish. Here is a recipe. They should still be cooked from frozen, even if homemade.

All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
