Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Frozen tater tots
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil optional
  • ½ teaspoon salt optional

Instructions

  • Start by preheating the air fryer to 400 degrees.
  • If you're using the olive oil, salt, or any other flavors, toss the tater tots in a bowl until well coated.
  • Transfer the tater tots to the preheated air fryer and cook for 12 minutes. Pause the air fryer at the 6 minutes mark to toss the tots, then return to the air fryer to continue cooking.
  • Allow the tater tots to cool just slightly and enjoy warm.

Notes

Air fryers vary in size, ensure that the tater tots are arranged in a single layer at the bottom of the air fryer and not stacked on top of each other. This will allow the heat to circulate properly and will cook the tots thoroughly and evenly.
The olive oil and salt are optional and might not be needed if the tots are pre-seasoned.
