  • Preheat your air fryer. This will help the tater tots cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. This will prevent the tater tots from cooking evenly.
  • Shake the air fryer basket halfway through cooking. This will help the tater tots cook evenly on all sides.
  • Cook the tater tots until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the tater tots immediately. They are best when they are hot and fresh.
