Ingredients

  • A spray for nonstick cooking
  • 1/4 pound of bacon, sliced into 1-inch pieces
  • Ground chorizo weighing 9 ounces
  • Bite-sized potato nuggets (like Tater Tots®), 1/2 pound frozen
  • Sliced celery, 1 stalk
  • 1/4 cup of water
  • An egg
  • Roasted garlic base (like Better Than Bouillon® Roasted Garlic Base), 1 teaspoon

Step 1

To begin, set the oven at 370 degrees F (190 degrees C) and let it warm up for a brief 2 minutes. Give a light spritz of cooking spray to a 7-inch springform pan.

Step 2

Next, pop some Tater Tots® into the air fryer basket and let them crisp up for a delightful 15 minutes, remembering to give the basket a gentle shake halfway through.

Step 3

While the tots are sizzling away, crisp up some bacon in a small skillet over medium-high heat for around 5 minutes, then toss in the chorizo and slices of celery. Let them dance in the skillet for about 3 minutes before draining off any excess grease.

Step 4

Transfer the golden Tater Tots® to a bowl and top them with the flavorful bacon-chorizo mix. Add a splash of water, an egg, and a hint of garlic base, stirring until everything is perfectly coated. Spoon this delicious mix into the prepared springform pan.

Step 5

Now, adjust the air fryer's temperature to a cozy 320 degrees F (160 degrees C). Slide the springform pan into the air fryer and let it cook for approximately 7 minutes until the dressing is cooked through. If it needs a bit more time, give it an extra 3 minutes to ensure it's just right.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Keep bacon strips in the freezer for easy slicing - simply place the package in the freezer until firm, then use a sharp knife to slice the bacon strips into perfect, uniform pieces.
  2. 2. Store chorizo in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain its savory flavor and prevent it from drying out.
