Pro Tips For Air Fryer Loaded Tater Tot Skewers Recipe

Making Air Fryer Loaded Tater Tot Skewers is simple. Here are some great tips to help you every single time you want to make this recipe:

  • Overfill: Do not overfill the basket; otherwise, they will end up raw in some places and overcooked in other areas. You are looking for a single layer to circulate through the basket so that the hot air can circulate.
  • Batches: If you want to make many air fryer tater tots, you can always make them in batches.
  • Flipping: Depending on your air fryer, you may need to flip your tater tots during the cooking process. If you are using an air fryer basket, remove the basket from the air fryer, and shake the basket.
  • Oil: You should not need any cooking spray or oil for this recipe; the frozen tater tots have enough oil that no additional oil is necessary.
  • Making These In An Air Fryer Oven Model: Follow the same recipe, but put the tater tots on the lowest rack position. This way, both the inside and outside will cook up simultaneously.

What Skewers To Use In An Air Fryer?

Air fryers are all the rage these days, and for a good reason: they make delicious food with minimal effort. But if you’re like me, you might be wondering what skewers to use in an air fryer.

Wood: You can easily use wood skewers, but make sure to soak them before adding them. This will eliminate them charring or burning.

Metal: You can buy several different varieties of skewers. Some great options are 8-inch Stainless Steel Skewers if you have an Air Fryer Oven model or 5-inch stainless steel skewers if you have an air fryer basket model.

Top your tater tots with your favorite toppings, and you’re ready! We recommend using bacon, cheese, and green onions, but here are some great options as well:

  • Ranch Dressing
  • Sour Cream
  • Shredded Cheese, Cheddar Cheese, or Monterey Jack Cheese
  • Cherry Tomatoes
  • Black Beans
  • Shredded Chicken Breast
  • Feta Cheese

How to Make this A Vegetarian Option

You can easily make this dish vegan by adding pre-cooked plant-based meat or simply leaving out the bacon. If you want to stick with what’s written, add some vegan meat, crumble, and increase your toppings by a small amount as desired!
