Steps
- 1
Place frozen tater tots in a single layer in the basket — no thawing needed. Don't overcrowd.
- 2
Spray lightly with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
- 3
Air fry at 400°F for 15-18 minutes, shaking the basket every 5 minutes for even browning.
- 4
Season immediately with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and salt while still hot.
- 5
Serve with ketchup, ranch, or sriracha mayo.
Tip: Shake the basket often — tots on the edges brown faster than the center. A single layer is non-negotiable for crunch.
