Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for tater tots, as they have a high starch content that makes them fluffy and crispy.
  • Shred the potatoes finely: This will help the tater tots hold their shape better.
  • Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to taste.
  • Chill the potato mixture before forming the tater tots: This will help them keep their shape even better.
  • Use a large enough air fryer basket: You don't want to overcrowd the basket, or the tater tots won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the tater tots in batches if necessary: If your air fryer basket is small, you may need to cook the tater tots in batches.
  • Serve the tater tots immediately: They're best when they're hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

These vegan air fryer tater tots are a delicious and easy side dish that can be enjoyed by everyone. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, and even weeknight dinners. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy vegan snack or side dish, give these tater tots a try. You won't be disappointed!
