I’m generally a homemade over frozen kind of girl (crispy baked potato wedges anyone?) BUT I’ll happily and freely admit that I have never and will never be making my own tater tots. Ain’t nobody got time for that - frozen bags all the way! When I bought my first air fryer I knew I wanted to try cooking frozen tater tots ASAP and boy were they amazing. I find that oven baked tots never get REALLY crispy, but once you let the air fryer work it’s magic you’re left with the crunchiest tater tots ever....

I think I might have a banana addiction. I just can’t quit it. I’m not entirely sure that there is a more perfect fruit out there. Not only does it taste great on it’s own, but it lends itself so well to recipes as a natural sweetener. And once I added it to oatmeal I could never go back to my old tasteless porridge that needed six tablespoons of sugar to remove the cardboard taste....
