I love cooking Air Fryer Frozen Pizza, Air Fryer Frozen Burgers for quick meals, or Air Fryer French Fries, Air Fryer Frozen Sweet Potato Fries as side dishes.

Air Frying Frozen Tater Tots
Remove the tater tots from the bag and spread them on a baking sheet. This is totally optional but I do this because it makes it easier to coat the taters with oil and season them properly. NO THAWING is needed.
Spray the frozen tater tots with olive oil cooking spray or your preferred oil.
Season the tater tots. Although they come pre-seasoned I find it really bland. Sprinkle some salt or add your favorite seasonings. Toss to coat.

Place tater tots in the Air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry tater tots at 400˚F for approximately 10 minutes. Shake the basket. This ensures that all the tots crisp up evenly. Cook for another 5 minutes or until how crispy you want it to be. For crispiest tater tots let it cook until golden brown.
Remove the tater tots from the Air fryer and serve warm with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
