Towels or Paper Towels
Baking sheet
- 4 medium potatoes peeled
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Parboil the potatoes in a large pot of boiling water for about 6-7 minutes.
Let the potatoes cool slightly, then grate them using a box grater.
Using towels or paper towels, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated potatoes, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Form the mixture into small cylinder shapes to create your tater tots.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Place the tater tots in a single layer on a baking sheet and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Transfer the tater tots to the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving.
- For an even crispier texture, you can double-fry the tater tots.
- Make a large batch and freeze extras for quick snacks later on.
- Experiment with different seasonings to find your favorite flavor combo.
