Cooking with air fry tater tots

[Wewok]

Cooking with an air fryer has become a popular and convenient way to prepare a wide range of delicious dishes, and one such treat that truly shines in this appliance is the classic favorite - tater tots! These golden nuggets of crispy goodness are loved by both kids and adults alike. Using an air fryer to cook tater tots not only saves time but also results in a healthier version compared to traditional deep-frying.

The process is incredibly simple and fuss-free. Start by preheating your air fryer to the recommended temperature, usually around 400°F (200°C). While it's heating up, take the frozen tater tots straight from the bag and place them in the air fryer basket. There's no need to thaw them, making this a quick and convenient snack or side dish option.

Once the air fryer is ready, slide in the basket and cook the tater tots for about 10 to 15 minutes. Halfway through, give the basket a gentle shake to ensure even cooking and browning on all sides. The result? Crispy air fry tater tots with a fluffy potato center that rivals the texture of deep-frying but with far less oil.
