Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Heat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for cooking crispy tater tots.
- Arrange the tater tots: Spread the frozen tater tots in an even layer in the air fryer basket or tray to allow for proper air circulation and even cooking.
- Apply oil spray: Lightly spray the tater tots with olive oil cooking spray to help achieve a crispy texture and enhance flavor without adding excess oil.
- Season the tots: Sprinkle Lawry’s seasoned salt or kosher salt evenly over the tater tots, then toss or shake gently to coat all the tots with seasoning.
