Air Fryer Tator Tots

Report
Air Fryer Tator Tots crisp frozen tater tots quickly without deep frying, using hot circulating air for an even golden exterior. Tater tots emerge crunchy on the outside and tender inside, ready to top with cheese, bacon, or ketchup as preferred.

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.
