Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound frozen tater tots I used Ore Ida
  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 teaspoon seasoning salt optional
  • Ketchup or your dipping sauce of choice optional for serving

Instructions
 

  • Place the frozen tots in the air fryer basket (depending upon the size, you'll likely have overlap).
    Tater tots are inside an air fryer basket, partially frozen and covered with a light layer of frost. The air fryer sits on a light-colored, textured surface.
  • Coat the top with nonstick spray, sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of the seasoning salt (if using), then give the basket a few good shakes. Spray once more, then sprinkle on the remaining 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt and shake again.
  • Air fryer frozen tater tots at 400°F for 11 to 14 minutes, shaking the basket a few times throughout, until they are golden and crisped to your liking (we like ours pretty crispy). Check regularly towards the end to ensure they don't overcook.
