"Tater tot" is a registered trademark of the American frozen food company Ore-Ida, but is often used as a generic term. "Tater" is short for potato. Traditionally these tiny potato snacks were deep-fried to make it. But with the air fryer, you can give the tater tot a healthier twist.
These tater tots are also great if you are a beginner and learning new air fryer recipes. Honestly, these tater tots are my first-ever air fryer trial. These are frozen snacks and it turns beautifully crispy and also without using a drop of oil. Also, note that the frozen tater tots have some oil in them. But at least you don't need extra oil to deep fry them.
