Air Fryer Tator Tots
Description
This recipe calls for seasoning the air fryer basket with cooking spray, then arranging frozen tater tots in a single layer to allow thorough air circulation. Cooking at 400°F for 10 to 15 minutes crisps them to a golden brown, with time varying by appliance. Repeating in batches ensures all tots cook evenly.
The texture balances a crunchy shell with a soft, starchy center. Toppings such as shredded cheese or crumbled bacon add savory richness. Serving immediately preserves crispness. Refrigerating leftovers up to five days keeps them suitable for reheating.
