Recipe Notes
- To cook the tater tots in your air fryer, preheat to 360 degrees F, then cook the tots in the basket or tray for about 10 minutes. Proceed with next step of cooking in the waffle iron.
- Cover the baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup.
- Make extra waffles and freeze them for later in a plastic freezer bag.
- While potatoes are gluten-free, not all brands of store-bought tater tots are certified gluten-free. Ore-Ida notes on its website that Ore-Ida brand tater tots are gluten-free.
Here's how to make it:
- Put the frozen tater tots onto a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in a preheated 425-degree F oven until hot and crispy, about 18 to 20 minutes.
- Heat the waffle iron and spray it with nonstick cooking spray. Add a single layer of tots to the waffle make (do not leave any gaps). Close the waffle maker and cook until golden brown and crispy about 4 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining tots.
