Ingredients
  

  • 2 pound golden potatoes
  • A handful of parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the potatoes. Peel the potatoes and cook them whole in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes; they should be fork-tender but not breaking apart. Then, let them cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes before following the next step.
  • Make the potato dough. Shred potatoes using a coarse box grater or food processor. Then, place shredded potatoes into a large bowl. Add chopped parsley, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, all-purpose flour, and parmesan cheese. Stir to combine.
  • Shape the tots. Roll the dough into 2-inches long tater tots. When forming the tater tots, roll them into compact cylinders. This helps them hold their shape while air frying.
  • Prepare for cooking. Pre-heat the Air Fryer to 400F. Then, arrange tater tots in a single layer and brush them with oil or spray oil.
  • Cook and serve! Cook tater tots for 14-15 minutes, flipping them over at half-time. Serve them warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • To Store In the fridge. Store any leftover cooked tater tots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat them in the air fryer or oven for the best results.
  • In the freezer. Allow cooked tater tots to cool to room temperature first. Then, place the tater tots on a baking sheet in a single layer and freeze until firm. This prevents them from sticking together. Once frozen, transfer the tater tots to a freezer-safe, airtight container or bag. Label and date it for easy reference.
  • To reheat. To reheat frozen tater tots, preheat your Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook for 5-6 minutes, shaking the basket occasionally for even heating. Alternatively, you can use an oven or toaster oven.
