Use your air fryer to make crispy, irresistibly delicious potato nuggets.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

4 spray(s)

Uncooked Yukon gold potato

2 pound(s), peeled

Scallions

2 large, thinly sliced

Cornstarch

1 Tbsp

Table salt

¾ tsp

Black pepper

¼ tsp

Ketchup

¼ cup(s)

Sriracha chili sauce

2 tsp

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, place potatoes and add enough salted water to cover; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer just until potatoes are barely tender in center when pierced, about 12 minutes (don’t overcook). Drain and rinse under cold running water. Let cool.
  2. Using the large holes of a box grater, shred potatoes. Transfer to a large bowl; add scallions. Sprinkle with cornstarch, salt, and pepper and gently toss until combined. In a small bowl, combine ketchup and Sriracha; reserve for serving.
  3. Measure out potato mixture by rounded tablespoonfuls; form into small log shapes, about 1 1/2 inches long and 1 inch wide. Arrange on a baking sheet or a clean work surface in a single layer.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 360°F for 3 minutes. Lightly spray basket with cooking spray. Place a single layer of potato tots in basket. Spray with cooking spray and air-fry 10 minutes. Turn tots over and spray with cooking spray. Air-fry until crispy, 5 minutes longer. Cover to keep warm or pop into a 200°F oven while air-frying the remaining tots. Serve with the ketchup mixture.
  5. Serving size: 8 potato tots and 1 tbsp ketchup
