Ingredients

  • 1 pound frozen tater tots (450g)
  • Cooking spray
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F.
  • Place the frozen tater tots in the air fryer basket in a singer layer (cook in batches if necessary). Spray lightly with cooking spray. Toss and spray again.
  • Air fryer for 12 to 15 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes, until the tater tots are crispy and golden brown. Sprinkle immediately with salt to taste before serving.

Notes

  • Cook air fryer tater tots in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly. If you need to, air fry the potatoes in batches.
  • For extra flavor: Sprinkle with seasoned salt or another herb seasoning blend (ideas in the FAQ section).
  • Wait a minute or two before eating. They are very hot right out of the air fryer! Wait a little bit to avoid a painful first bite.
