INGREDIENTS FOR AIR FRYER TOTS WITH CHEESE:
- 16 ounces of potato tots
- Cooking oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- One cup of chilli
- Half a cup of shredded cheese
INSTRUCTIONS FOR AIR FRYER TOTS WITH CHEESE:
- Spread out an equal layer of frozen tater tots in the air fryer basket to start. Though they cannot overlap, the tots can touch.
- Season them to taste with salt and pepper after lightly misting them with cooking oil.
- For five minutes, air fried the tater tots at 400°F.
- Toss the tots to ensure equal, crispy grilling by opening the basket and shaking them. Once the tots are golden and crisp, air fried them for an additional five to seven minutes.
- After taking them out of the basket, place the tater tots aside.
- After that, give the basket a thorough cleaning and line it with paper air fryer liners, silicon baskets or parchment paper.
- Re-place the tater tots in the prepared basket and add shredded cheese and heated chilli on top.
- The cheese should be melted and bubbling after 5 minutes of air fry time at 350°F.
NOTES FOR THE RECIPE:
- For this dish, I use frozen potato tots.
- Use up leftover chilli with this tasty dish. To ensure that everything cooks evenly, warm it up before pouring it over the tater tots.
- Make sure the parchment paper stays away from the top heating components if you use it.
