One of my favorite things to make in the air fryer are frozen fries, tater tots, and hash browns. The air fryer cooks them to crispy perfection while keeping them warm and fluffy on the inside.

A few great reasons for making Crispy Crowns in the air fryer are:

  • You don’t need to add any extra oil. This makes it healthier than frying.
  • This easy recipe only takes about 10 minutes for crispy, tasty crowns.
  • No need to preheat. These can be cooked straight from frozen without having to preheat.

Recipe tips

  • If you want super crispy tots, lightly spray them with olive oil halfway through cooking.
  • Want a little added flavor? Sprinkle with your favorite seasonings like salt, french fry seasoning, or seasoning salt right after they are cooked.
  • Don’t forget to shake the basket or flip the crowns so they cook evenly.
  • If you want to cook the whole bag, you might need to cook in two batches.
  • Serve as soon as they are done cooking for the crispiest tater tots.
