No doubt, these tater tots will be the finest you’ve ever tasted. Just like french fries, preparing them in an air fryer boosts their deliciousness. Whether or not to use dip is completely your decision.

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.
