- air fryer
- Rubber Tip Tongs
Ingredients
- ½-1 lb frozen tater tots
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400F for 5 minutes.
- Use cooking spray to spray basket or tray to help prevent the food from sticking.
- Cook the tots for 8 minutes and then shake or flip the frozen tater tots.

Notes
- We do recommend that you preheat your air fryer unit to ensure even cooking.
- For best results, cook your tater tots from frozen.
- If you are cooking a lot of air fryer tater tots it will be best to cook in batches rather than overcrowding the air fryer unit.
- Any air fryer model will work for this recipe. If you have an oven-style air fryer unit, lay the tots in a single layer and flip halfway during the 15 minute cooking time. If you have a basket style, shake the basket every 5 minutes.
- Non-stick cook spray is optional, however, it does help prevent the frozen tater tots from sticking to the basket or try.
- Do NOT use cooking spray if you have a non-stick basket. Omit the spray or add a spritz of cooking oil instead.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauce including ketchup or Ranch dressing.
