Do tater tots taste better when made in the air fryer? Making frozen tater tots in the air fryer is so much quicker and easier than cooking them using any other method! Plus, when you use an air fryer to make frozen tater tots, you get consistent results every time. (No more mushy tots!)
Ingredients
Should I use frozen or thawed tater tots in the air fryer? Frozen tater tots work best in an air fryer. They won’t crisp up the way you want them to if you start with thawed ones. When buying frozen tater tots, be sure to check the ingredients on the package — try to buy an organic brand with minimal ingredients and no additives or preservatives. The fewer ingredients in your tots, the better your results will be.
How should I season my tater tots? You have so many options for seasoning your tater tots. They can be customized to suit anyone’s tastes! Want to be adventurous? Try my homemade taco seasoning or Cajun seasoning on your tots. If you prefer simpler flavor combinations, a bit of seasoned salt or some ranch seasoning will do the trick.
Preparation
How do I make my tater tots crispier? You can give your tater tots a little extra crispiness by spraying them very lightly with avocado oil spray.
Serving Suggestions
