Whip up this easy 2-ingredient smashed tots recipe whenever scratch-made sides aren’t on the table and your fam will love it. No peeling and cooking potatoes, no hour-long baking time. Just spritz with Air Fryer Oil for a pop of garlic and black pepper flavor, pop your tots in the fryer, then smash them flat and cook ‘til crispy.
Made with a blend of avocado oil and MCT oil from coconuts, our Air Fryer Oil gives the tots a subtle flavor while they crisp up. Once they’re done, load them up baked potato style with sour cream and chives or bacon and cheese. Dip and dunk ‘em in Ranch dressing for a tangy, creamy bite, or drizzle with Buffalo Sauce for big game-day flavor.
