Air Fryer Tater Tots
After making frozen Tater Tots in the Air Fryer you'll never make them any other way! They taste like deep-fried and are crispy all around.
Servings: 4
Equipment
Ingredients
- 16 oz Frozen Tater Tots
- oil spray optional
Instructions
- Preheat your Air Fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Put the frozen Tater Tots in the Air Fryer basket and optionally spray them with a little oil spray for extra crispiness. Don't overfill the Air Fryer basket.
- Cook them for 12-14 minutes, depending on how crispy you like them. Shake the basket every 5 minutes. Your Air Fryer might cook faster, so check on them in the last few minutes of cooking time.
- The Tater Tots are done when they are golden brown and crispy. Transfer them to a bowl and sprinkle some salt over them if desired.
Notes
- I recommend preheating your Air Fryer, this way the cooking time is more accurate and the Tater Tots crisp up more evenly. If you don't preheat cooking time will be 2-3 minutes longer depending on your Air Fryer.
- Don't overfill the basket, you want the air to be able to circulate. The bigger your Air Fryer the more Tater Tots you can make. Don't line the basket with foil.
- Spraying them with oil is optional but adds some extra crispiness.
- Don't use non-stick cooking spray in your Air Fryer, always use pure oil spray like my favorite Avocado oil spray, which is perfect for high heat.
- Shaking the basket a few times during air frying, makes them cook evenly.
- Smaller Tater Tots will be done faster.
