Notes

Best enjoyed warm and fresh out of the fryer. They can be served with dipping sauces like ranch dressing, ketchup, or spicy aioli for added flavor. To store, place cooled tots in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
