Air Fryer Tater Tots

About This Recipe

These air fryer tater tots are the crispiest ever! I share my tried-and-true method to make sure your tots are terrific.

Ingredients

• 1 pound frozen tater tots (I used Ore Ida)
• Nonstick cooking spray
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt (optional)
• Ketchup or your dipping sauce of choice (optional for serving)

Instructions

1. Place the frozen tots in the air fryer basket (depending upon the size, you'll likely have overlap).
2. Coat the top with nonstick spray, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoning salt (if using), then give the basket a few good shakes. Spray once more, then sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt and shake again.
3. Air fryer frozen tater tots at 400°F for 11 to 14 minutes, shaking the basket a few times throughout, until they are golden and crisped to your liking (we like ours pretty crispy). Check regularly towards the end to ensure they don't overcook.
4. Serve hot, with ketchup or your dipping sauce of choice
