These homemade air fryer tater tots are a lighter version of a family favorite. Golden brown, crisp and absolutely delicious. Recipe compliments of Instant Pot.

Ingredients

• Potatoes (floury potatoes suitable for French fries or mashed potatoes are best used here)
• Cornstarch/cornflour
• Garlic powder
• Parmesan cheese
• Salt and black pepper
• Olive oil/olive oil spray

Method

1. Peel the potatoes and place them in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and allow to cook for 10 minutes. Drain and allow to cool until easy to handle.
2. Grate the potatoes on a box grater and add to a large mixing bowl. Add the cornstarch, parmesan cheese and seasonings then mix well.
3. Form tater tots out of the mixture by squeezing a tablespoon of the potato mixture between your palms and forming with your fingers.
4. Place the tater tots in the air fryer basket in batches and drizzle/spray with olive oil then cook for 20-25 minutes at 200ºC/400ºF.
5. Flip the tater tots halfway and cook until crisp and golden brown. Remove from the air fryer and serve and serve with ketchup or your favourite dipping sauce.
