How Do You Fry Tater Tots In An Air Fryer

Air Fryer Tater Tots are soft and fluffy on the inside while crisp golden brown on the outside. Adding the chili cheese on top makes these the ultimate indulgent snack or game day grub.

The difference between these tots and regular air fryer tots is using the foil underneath. We do that to keep the chili and cheese from dropping to the bottom of the air fryer. Typically for Frozen Tater Tots In An Air Fryer we would just toss them in the basket.

As far as the chili, feel free to use your favorite canned chili or leftover homemade chili. I like to freeze a small portion of chili every time I make a batch so that I have it on hand for recipes like this.

I have used shredded cheese and the gooey nacho cheese. Both will work so it is up to you and which you prefer.
