  1. Begin by adding the frozen tater tots to the air fryer basket in an even layer. The tater tots can touch but not overlap.
  2. Spray lightly with cooking oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Air fry the tater tots at 400°F for 5 minutes.

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.
