Cooking Instructions:
  1. Step 1: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

  4. Step 4: Place the frozen tater tots in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Set the timer for 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. Step 5: At the halfway point (around 10 minutes), open the air fryer and flip the tater tots with tongs.
  6. Step 6: After 15 to 20 minutes, check for doneness. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes if needed.
  7. Step 7: Remove the tater tots and serve immediately with ketchup or your favorite dipping sauce.
