Ingredients
Scale
2 cups cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg
Cooking spray
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and egg. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into small balls or tots.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the tots in a single layer in the basket, making sure they are not touching.
Air fry the tots at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, shaking the basket halfway through cooking.
Once cooked, remove the tots from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, mix in chopped herbs like chives or parsley before forming the tots.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or marinara, for an extra tasty snack.
