Air Fryer Tater Tots

The tater tots cooked in the air fryer came out absolutely delicious.  In fact, they tasted better than if they were cooked in the oven.  The Air Fryer I used was the Power AirFryer XL 5.3 Quart.  It has plenty of room and power.

The frozen tater tots were done in 10 minutes and were crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside.  They were actually done in about 9 minutes, but I like my tots extra crispy.
