How to Make Frozen Tater Tots in the Air Fryer
- Begin by adding the frozen tater tots to the air fryer basket in an even layer. The tater tots can touch but not overlap.
- Spray lightly with cooking oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Air fry the tater tots at 400°F for 5 minutes.
- Open the basket and shake the tots to turn them over for even, crispy cooking. Then air fry for another 5-7 minutes or until your tots are golden and crisp.
Helpful Notes:
- I use Ore Ida frozen tater tots in this recipe.
- These tater tots in the air fryer are delicious with cheese sprinkled on top.
- I like to serve these tots alongside my big weekend breakfasts instead of hashbrowns.
Storage and Reheating Instructions:
This recipe stores well and is delicious when reheated in the air fryer.
IN THE FRIDGE: Store any leftovers in a sealed container for up to one week.
IN THE FREEZER: These tater tots aren’t a good candidate for freezing. I recommend you make a fresh batch whenever you want to enjoy them.
REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS: Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 375°F for about 5 minutes.
FAQS
What do I serve with tater tots?
Ore Ida Tater Tots in the Air Fryer can be served alongside a delicious breakfast of eggs, bacon, sausage, and toast, on their own as a snack, or kick them up a notch with our Air Fryer Chili Cheese Tots!
Are tater tots and hashbrowns the same thing?
Hashbrowns and after tots are essentially the same potato dish in different shapes. You can replace your traditional hashbrowns with tater tots for the same great taste!
Can I refreeze tater tots once they’ve been cooked?
I recommend you make a fresh batch instead of freezing tater tots that have already been cooked in the air fryer. The flavor and texture are much better this way, and it’s an easy recipe to whip up anytime.
