Notes

  • Make sure to cook the tater tots in a single layer. You want the hot air to be able to circulate around each of them so that they crisp up.
  • Don't skip shaking the basket or flipping them over half way through cooking.
  • If you are making the whole bag, you will probably need to cook them in 2-3 batches.
  • If you want to add seasoning, do it immediately after they cook.
  • Like them super crispy? Add another 2-3 minutes of cooking time.
  • Try using these cooked tater tots as a base for totchos.
