Gather all the ingredients for the homemade air fryer tater tots.
Transfer the grated boiled potatoes to a large bowl.
Add the all-purpose flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, chili flakes, oregano, and chopped parsley. Mix everything until a soft dough forms.
Portion the dough into small balls, then gently shape them into tater tots. You should get about 20 tots from this recipe.
Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes. You can also line the basket with foil.
Arrange the tots in the air fryer basket and lightly brush the tops with oil.
Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes. Flip the tots, then cook for another 5 minutes until they turn lightly golden brown.
Serve the air fryer tater tots hot with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Grating potatoes into a bowl of cold water prevents browning and removes excess starch. After soaking, drain in a colander and press out as much water as possible to ensure beautifully crispy tots.
If making a big batch of air fryer tater tots, you can use a cookie scoop to portion the potato mixture!
You can store leftover air fried tater tots in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. To serve, reheat at 350°F for 5 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
