  • Total Time: 17 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups frozen tater tots
  • 1 tsp olive oil (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp salt (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 400°F (204°C) to ensure the tater tots cook evenly and become crispy.
  2. Prepare the Tots: In a bowl, toss the frozen tater tots with olive oil and salt, if using. This helps enhance crispiness and flavor.
  3. Arrange in Basket: Place the tater tots in a single layer inside the air fryer basket to allow for even air circulation and optimal crispness.
  4. Cook: Air fry for 12 minutes total, shaking or tossing the tots halfway through the cooking time at 6 minutes to ensure even browning.
  5. Serve: Once cooked to a golden crisp, allow them to cool slightly before serving warm as a delicious snack or side dish.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
  • Olive oil and salt are optional but recommended for enhanced flavor and texture.
  • Cooking times may vary slightly based on the brand and model of your air fryer.
  • Can be served with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer to maintain crispness.
