Get ready to enjoy the yummiest tater tots ever! Air frying turns them into mouthwatering bites as tasty as crunchy french fries. Feel like adding a dip? That’s up to you!
Tips
- Instead of a box grater, you can use a food processor to shred the potatoes.
- If the potato mixture is sticking to your hands, moisten them with some water while you are forming the tots.
- Using a tablespoon to shape potatoes helps to measure the same sized tots.
- Flour can be replaced with cornstarch. Use half as much cornstarch as you would flour because cornstarch has twice the thickening power of flour.
- You can blend the dip completely smooth or leave it slightly chunky if you prefer.
