Air Fryer Frozen Tater Tots
Description
This recipe uses frozen tater tots placed evenly in the basket of a preheated air fryer at 400°F. Cooking for an initial 8 minutes softens and starts the crisping process. Gently shaking the basket then redistributes tots to promote even cooking and prevents sticking or breaking.
Continue cooking for another 6 to 8 minutes until the tots reach the desired level of crispness, recognizable by a golden exterior and a crunchy texture. Seasoning with seasoned salt is done to taste after frying, allowing control over sodium and flavor intensity.
Serving immediately ensures the crispiest texture, making these tater tots a convenient snack or side dish. The recipe emphasizes cooking in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding, which can result in uneven cooking. Reheating all tots together just before serving maintains crispness.
