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. 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. Store chorizo in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain its savory flavor and prevent it from drying out.
