Notes

Ensure tater tots are evenly coated in spray oil to make sure they don’t stick together and are golden brown when finished cooking.
Cook tater tots frozen, directly from the freezer, do not defrost first.
Always preheat the air fryer, prior to cooking, to ensure you get the crispiest tater tots in town!
Cooking time and air fryer settings may vary depending on the make and model of the air fryer and if different air fryers brands are used.
For best results, enjoy warm.
Store these leftover tater tots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days. To avoid soggy tater tots, reheat the tater tots in the basket of your air fryer until crispy.
