Notes
- For best results, preheat your air fryer for 3-5 minutes before adding the tater tots. This helps achieve a consistent crispness from the start.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Cook in batches if necessary to allow hot air to circulate freely around each tot, ensuring maximum crispiness. Overcrowding leads to steaming rather than frying.
- If your tater tots aren't as crispy as desired, a light spritz of cooking spray before the final few minutes of cooking can enhance their crunch. I've found a neutral oil spray works best.
