Tater tots have become a popular snack option for many people in America. They can be bought frozen and eaten cold from the fridge, but you can also make your own fresh tater tots at home. These crispy, cheesy snacks can be used as a snack, appetizer, or side dish for any meal. In this recipe, we will learn how to make tater tots in an air fryer.
What is an Air fryer?
An air fryer is a small, handheld kitchen appliance that cooks food by circulating hot air around it. An air fryer is great for making quick and easy meals, and is also convenient for cooking on the go. Air fryers usually have a cooking chamber that is insulated. Food is cooked in the air fryer using the heat that is emitted by an electric coil, which heats air circulating around the chamber. The temperature of the food is maintained by using a thermostat, which is calibrated for the appropriate cooking temperature. Many air fryers are also equipped with a timer, so you can set the time for cooking and let the air fryer do the rest.
