Description

These air fryer tater tots are seriously good!! They’re perfectly crispy on the on the outside and deliciously soft on the inside. When we get a craving for french fries, our teen boys more often ask for tater tots for a quick snack. Cooking tater tots in an air fryer is the best way to cook them in less than 15 minutes! You get that delicious deep fried taste but much healthier. You won’t want them any other way once you try them in the air fryer!


Ingredients

16 ounces frozen tater tots


Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 3 to 5 minutes.

  2. Place the the tater tots into the air fryer basket in a single layer for the best way for even cooking crispy tots.

  3. Air fry the frozen tater tots at 400°F for 12-15 minutes until they are golden brown. Shake the basket every 4 or 5 minutes to allow the hot air to circulate for even cooking. 

  4. If you filled you air fryer basket up more than a single layer you will need to give a good shake of the basket more often. If you like your tater tots extra crispy cook for 1-2 extra minutes.

Notes

Cooked leftover tater tots can be stored in airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. 

You can freeze cooked leftover tater tots in a resealable freezer bag for 2 to 3 months.

Nutritional Informations: Number of total servings shown is approximate. Actual number of servings will depend on your preferred portion sizes.

The best way to reheat tater tots is in the air fryer to get them crispy warm and delicious again.

Place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry at 375°F for 5 minutes shaking halfway through. For extra crispy or frozen tater tots air fry for 1 to 3 more minutes checking for level of cooking.
