Instructions

Air fry the tater tots for 15 minutes, shaking the basket once or twice during cooking to ensure even cooking.
Let the tater tots cool for 5 minutes so you don't burn your fingers.
Thread the tater tots onto skewers or bamboo picks, putting 5 or 6 on each. Put the skewers in the air fryer basket.
Sprinkle the cheese and bacon over the tater tots.
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, 3 slices bacon
Put the basket back in the air fryer and cook at 400 F for 5 minutes.
Serve sprinkled with green onions or chives. Drizzle with ranch dressing if desired.
Notes
If using the oven cook the tater tots as directed on the package, usually 25-30 minutes at 400 F. Then cook the loaded skewers for 8-10 minutes at 400 F.
