Cooking Tips: Cook bacon in air fryer before tater tots because it will save time and add a bit of extra flavor to the tater tots.
Substitutions: Use sharp cheddar cheese, American cheese, Colby jack cheese or any other good melty cheese in this recipe.
I make this recipe in my Cosori 5.8 qt. air fryer. Depending on your air fryer, size and wattages, cooking time may need to be adjusted 1-2 minutes.
