Air fryer tater tots deliver crispy perfection in record time! No need to wait for the oven or deal with deep frying - just pop the frozen tater tots in the air fryer and enjoy golden brown crunchy tots in minutes.
Place frozen tater tots in the air fryer basket, and give a quick spray of olive oil.
Place basket in air fryer, and air fry tater tots at 360°F/ 180°C for around 12 minutes.
Shake the basket after about 5-6 minutes (no need to stop the air fryer), and again after 10 minutes.
At this point check to see how well cooked the tots are. If they are not quite cooked enough return them to the air fryer and cook for additional 2 minute intervals until they are done to your liking.
The tater tots are cooked when they are a light golden brown, though you can cook them longer if you like them extra crispy!
Remove tater tots from the air fryer and season with salt to taste.
