Ingredients
This recipe was developed with its original yield. Ingredient amounts are automatically adjusted, but cooking times and steps remain unchanged. Note that not all recipes scale perfectly.
- 36 frozen bite-size potato nuggets (such as Tater Tots)
Directions
Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 350F (175C) according to the manufacturer's instructions. This should take about 4 minutes.
Step 2: Place the desired amount of potato nuggets into the air fryer basket, arranging them in a single layer. If necessary, work in batches to avoid overcrowding the basket.
Step 3: Cook the potato nuggets in the preheated air fryer for 6 minutes.
Step 4: After 6 minutes, shake the basket to ensure even cooking.
Step 5: Continue cooking the nuggets until they are crispy and golden, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. This will take about 4 minutes more.

Toss some tater tots in the air fryer, heat up some salsa con queso, and serve with a dollop of sour cream and you have one easy, tasty afternoon snack. It doesn’t get any easier than this.

Helpful guidelines; thank you. Next time, I will either use a higher heat or more time to try and increase the crispiness of the tots 🙂.

I used less time to heat, like a minute.

PERFECT! I was gifted an air fryer but no instruction book. This recipe made it so easy as the times were perfect! I only wish I had taken a photo but they disappeared before I thought about it. Next time. Thank you Nicole for sharing! I miss our times on the buzz!

Super easy. Tots were crispy and we topped them with Tillamook cheddar cheese at the end.
