How to Make Tater Tots in an Air Fryer
What You’ll Need
Making tater tots in an air fryer is a great way to enjoy this classic snack without all the added fat and grease of deep frying. To get started, you’ll need an air fryer, a package of tater tots, and a few other kitchen staples. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Air fryer
- Package of tater tots
- Non-stick cooking spray
- Salt or seasoning of your choice (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Before you begin, preheat the air fryer to 400°F. This will help the tater tots cook evenly and get nice and crispy.
Step 2: Prepare the Tater Tots
Once the air fryer is preheated, it’s time to prepare the tater tots. Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray and spread the tater tots out in a single layer. If desired, sprinkle the tater tots with salt or seasoning of your choice.
Step 3: Cook the Tater Tots
Place the basket in the air fryer and cook the tater tots for 15-20 minutes, or until they’re golden brown and crispy. Be sure to check on the tater tots every few minutes and shake the basket to ensure even cooking.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy!
Once the tater tots are cooked, remove the basket from the air fryer and serve them hot. Enjoy!
