Method
Preparation
- 1
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan or a deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Cooking
- 2
Fry the Tater Tots
Carefully add the frozen tater tots to the hot oil in batches. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will lower the oil temperature.
- 3
Fry Until Golden Brown
Fry the tater tots for about 3-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Drain and Season
Once cooked, remove the tater tots from the oil using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. While still hot, sprinkle with seasoning salt to taste.
