Ingredients

2 cups frozen tater tots

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup green onions, sliced

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

In a bowl, combine the frozen tater tots, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Drizzle with olive oil and toss until evenly coated.

Place the seasoned tater tots in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches depending on your air fryer size).

Air fry the tater tots for 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

After 10 minutes, remove the basket and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and green onions over the tater tots.

Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Carefully remove the basket and let the cheesy tater tots cool for a minute before serving.
