4 Servings
Ingredients
- 1 bag 32 oz frozen tater tots
- Cooking spray such as olive oil or canola oil
- Salt to taste
Instructions
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This step ensures that the tater tots achieve maximum crispness right from the start.
Arrange Tater Tots:
- Place the frozen tater tots in a single layer within the air fryer basket. If necessary, cook them in batches to prevent overcrowding. Apply a light coating of cooking spray over the tater tots to enhance their golden, crispy texture.
Cook the Tater Tots:
- Air fry the tater tots for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket midway through the cooking process to promote even cooking. Inspect their appearance—if they require additional crispness, continue cooking for 1–2 more minutes.
Season and Serve:
- Immediately after removing the tater tots from the air fryer, sprinkle them with salt to taste. Serve promptly while they are hot and crisp.

To make this recipe gluten-free, ensure the frozen tater tots you select are labeled as gluten-free. Additionally, verify that the cooking spray used does not contain any gluten-based additives.
