Crispy Air Fryer Tater Tots

 Air fryer tater tots are quick and easy snacks or the perfect side to any meal. These tater tots come out of the air fryer so crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside.

Tater tots are just one of those foods that are loved by kids and adults alike. Our grandson Tyler loves his tater tots made in the air fryer. It is so easy to make tater tots in the air fryer from frozen to the table in about 10 to 15 minutes.

How to make tater tots in the air fryer:

The air fryer is the quickest way to make the crispiest tater tots right from the freezer.

  1. First, set your air fryer to air crisp and the temperature to 400 degrees. The high temperature is important for crispy tater tots. Set the timer for 12 minutes.
  2. I place the frozen tater tots in a one-gallon plastic storage bag. Add one tablespoon of olive oil and toss them around. You can also use a cooking spray if you like.
  3. Place the frozen tater tots in the air fryer basket and lightly season with salt. Cook for 6 minutes then open and toss them around in the basket. This is important so they don't stick together. Cook for the remaining 6 minutes. 
  4. Place them in a bowl and serve plain or with your favorite dipping sauce.
We like to have some different dipping sauces, such as ketchup, ranch, or barbecue sauce. My favorite is the barbecue sauce but when our granddaughters are visiting, the ranch is their favorite.

More seasoning suggestions for tater tots:

  • Smoked Paprika
  • Italian Seasoning
  • Taco Seasoning
  • Montreal Steak Seasoning
  • Old Bay Seasoning
These are just some ideas for different seasonings. You can season your tater tots with whatever you like. The amounts depend on your taste but usually, one tablespoon per basket in the air fryer is enough.

We use our Ninja Foodi Grill to air fry. The Ninja is a combination indoor grill and air fryer. We have had our Ninja for several years and just love it. Any air fryer will work just as well.

  2. My entire family loves tater tots! I really appreciate the tip for using the storage bag with the olive oil. Ingenious! I don't like using a cooking spray. I'm not really sure why, it just doesn't appeal to me. I have been using a spritzer for olive oil, but I really like the idea of the less mess by using a storage bag. Thank you!

  7. Thanks Sam for an interesting review. I have a Power XL airfryer and love all the things I can make in it. Your reviews always give me ideas for new things to try. I make frozen fries, frozen spring rolls, crab cakes and so much more in the air fryer. They all come out crispy and delicious.
