    Cooking Crispy Crowns in the air fryer is seriously delicious way to get perfect tater tots. This cooking method makes tater tot crowns that taste like they were just deep fried but without all of the oil. The best way to make Crispy Crowns for crispy, golden brown tots.

    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.

    What are Ore-Ida Crispy Crowns?

    Ore-Ida Crispy Crowns are similar to tater tots. They are made from seasoned, grated potatoes that are formed into a circle shape and deep fried. They are light and fluffy on the inside and crispy on the outside.

    What you need

    Frozen Crispy Crowns – Ore-Ida Golden Crispy Crowns can be found in the freezer section by the frozen french fries and frozen hash browns.

    Air Fryer – You can use both a basket style or oven style air fryer for this recipe.

    How to make frozen Crispy Crowns in the air fryer

    Step one: Open bag of Ore-Ida Golden Crispy Crowns.

    Step two: Pour the frozen tater tot crowns in the air fryer basket in a single layer.

    Step three: Cook at 400 degrees F for 5 minutes. Give the basket a good shake and cook for another 5 minutes at 400 degrees F. Check the crowns to see if you would like them crispier. You can add a few extra minutes of cooking time if needed.

    What to serve with Crispy Crowns

    Dipping sauces: Try serving with your favorite dipping sauce like ketchup, Champps sauce, Boom Boom sauce, Campfire sauce, or Zesty sauce.

    Side dish: They are the perfect side dish for things like a chicken sandwich, hamburger, brats, and hot dogs.

    Totchos: Top with your favorite nacho toppings like sour cream, cheese, and salsa for the ultimate totchos.

    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.
