Place 16 ounces of tater tots in the air fryer basket.
Lock the basket into the air fryer and set temperature to 400 degrees F and the time to 15 minutes.
After 7-8 minutes (halfway through) pause the air fryer and remove the basket. Carefully toss the tater tots in the basket or use a spatula to flip them so that the bottom layer circulates to the top.
Place the basket back in the air fryer and continue to cook until the timer goes off. If they aren't quite to your desires level of crispness you can continue to cook for 2-3 minutes.
Once done cooking remove from the basket and serve with your favorite sauces, seasonings, and toppings.
