Ingredients
  

2 cups frozen tater tots

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/3 cup chopped green onions

1/4 cup sour cream

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 3-5 minutes.

    In a mixing bowl, combine the frozen tater tots, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the tater tots are evenly coated.

      Place the seasoned tater tots in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

        Once the tater tots are cooked, carefully remove them from the basket and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped green onions evenly over the hot tater tots.

          Return the basket to the air fryer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

            Remove from the air fryer and let cool for a minute. Drizzle with sour cream and sprinkle fresh parsley for garnish.
