Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 cups frozen tater tots
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 390°F and allow it to preheat to ensure even cooking and crispy results.
  2. Prepare Tater Tots: In a large mixing bowl, combine the frozen tater tots with olive oil and salt. Toss thoroughly to ensure each tot is lightly coated with the oil and evenly seasoned.
  3. Arrange in Air Fryer Basket: Transfer the coated tater tots to the air fryer basket, spreading them out in an even layer to promote uniform cooking.
  4. Air Fry: Cook the tots at 390°F for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to crisp all sides evenly. Adjust timing based on your preferred level of crispiness.
  5. Serve: Once golden and crispy, remove the tots from the air fryer. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious snack or side dish.

Notes

  • Shaking the basket halfway through cooking helps to achieve an even crispiness on all sides.
  • You can add your favorite seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or pepper for extra flavor.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure proper airflow and crispiness.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model; monitor closely towards the end.
