Air Fryer Tater Tots

Air Fryer tater tots are just the best, hands down! This method produces tater tots that truly taste deep fried but are way healthier. Easy to make from frozen tater tots in just about 15 minutes.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces frozen tater tots

Instructions

  • Preheat your air fryer to 400ºF. Coat the frozen tots with a little cooking spray, like avocado oil. Sprinkle with salt and toss to coat.

Notes

  • I recommend using organic frozen tater tots for the healthiest version.
  • This is the air fryer I use. 
  • This method works for any number of tater tots, though if your air fryer is small or you're cooking a large amount of tots, you'll want to work in batches.
