Recipe Tips

  • If your air fryer is smaller than 4.7L (5 qt), I recommend halving the amount of Tater tots you cook at once.
  • Tater tots are also known as potato gems, potato pom-poms, potato royals, or potato croquettes.
  • The time it takes to cook the Tater tots in your air fryer may vary slightly. You may need to plus or minus five minutes from the cooking time.
  • Having a good amount of spare room in the air fryer is ideal for getting the perfect Tater tots. I recommend only filling the air fryer to a maximum of one-third for the best result.
  • The oil is optional, but it does help ensure the Tater tots will be crispy.
  • Preheating the air fryer will help guarantee the best results.
