Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 16 oz Frozen Tater Tots (1/2 a bag)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp Seasoned Salt
- 1/4 tsp Pepper
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
- 1 tbsp Chives optional
Instructions
- Set the temperature of your air fryer to 375 degrees F. Pre-heating is not required, but I think it helps for the fryer to heat up for a couple of minutes prior to adding my tots.
- Spray the inside of the air fryer with cooking oil spray to prevent the tots from sticking to the bottom.
- Add a single layer of frozen tater tots to the air fryer basket. I use my mega zone for this and can make about a half a bag at a time. Cook for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
- When the tots are done, do not allow them to cool in the fryer. I find that this makes my tots less crispy. As soon as the time ends, open the fryer and turn it off. Cool for a few minutes with the drawer or lid off.
- In a large bowl mix up the seasoned salt, pepper, parmesan cheese, and chives with the olive.
- Add the cooked tater tots to the bowl and toss in the seasoning mixture until coated.
- Transfer to a plate and serve.
- Store in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
