Ingredients
- 1 lb. frozen tater tots
- Cooking spray
Seasonings:
- For spice: Cajun seasoning or seasoned salt
- Garlic lovers: garlic salt
- Taco twist: taco seasoning
- Herby: Italian seasoning
- Simple: salt and pepper
Instructions
- If needed, preheat air fryer to 400°F. My air fryer doesn’t need preheating, so I skip this step.
- Spray to coat air fryer basket. Pour ½ lb of tater tots into the air fryer basket.* Coat tots with cooking spray, shake basket, and coat again.
- Optionally, sprinkle with seasonings—you can also do this after cooking, which I prefer to avoid burnt spice bits throughout.
- Cook for 10-16 minutes, shaking halfway through. Cook on the longer end for extra crispy tots. Check and add on a few more minutes depending on the crispiness level desired.
- Spray with cooking spray, then sprinkle and toss in a bowl with seasonings. Serve with ketchup, onion ring sauce, garlic parmesan sauce, chipotle aioli, or garlic aioli.
Notes
*If you want super crispy tater tots, arrange tots in a single layer and bake in batches. If pressed for time or if you love softer tater tots, simply toss ½ lb into the basket.
