Main Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen tater tots
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt (optional)
- Ketchup or dipping sauce of your choice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Air Fryer Basket: Place the frozen tater tots in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are spread out in a single layer to allow for even cooking.
- Season and Spray: Coat the tater tots evenly with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with seasoning salt if you want extra flavor. Shake the basket well to distribute the seasoning evenly over the tots.
- Air Fry the Tots: Cook the tater tots at 400°F (200°C) for 11-14 minutes. During cooking, shake the basket a few times to ensure the tots brown evenly and achieve a crispy texture.
- Serve: Once golden brown and crispy, remove the tots from the air fryer and serve immediately. Pair them with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra tasty treat.
Notes
- For best results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping.
- Adjust cooking time based on your air fryer model and desired crispiest level.
- Seasoning salt is optional, feel free to experiment with other spices such as paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper.
- Allow the air fryer basket to cool slightly before shaking to avoid burns.
- Store leftover tater tots in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best texture.
