These air fryer tater tots are the perfect snack or side dish! The BEST way to cook frozen tater tots is in the Air Fryer! They come out crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. Plus, they’re much healthier than deep-fried tater tots.
Ingredients
- Tater tots: I always buy a 32 oz. bag of frozen tater tots. My favorite brand is Ore-Ida Tater Tots.
- Cooking spray: I use olive oil but you can also use avocado oil spray too. Also, don’t spray too much cooking spray or it will make your tater tots soggy.
- Salt: You can use table salt, seasoned salt, or no salt.
