Ingredients
1 (32 oz) bag frozen tater tots
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne (if using), salt, and black pepper. Add frozen tater tots and toss until evenly coated.
Place tater tots in a single layer in the air fryer basket (cook in batches if necessary).
Air fry for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Serve immediately with ketchup, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips
For extra crispiness, spray the basket with cooking spray before adding tots.
Leftover tots can be reheated in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes.
