Ingredients

1 package (14 ounces) Johnsonville Beddar with Cheddar Smoked Sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 bag (32 ounces) frozen tater tots
¼ cup Buffalo sauce
1 cup bleu cheese crumbles
2 green onions, thinly sliced
¼ cup ranch dressing
Optional: celery sticks

Directions

Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
Arrange tater tots in an even layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry for 6 minutes.
Shake the basket and add the sausage pieces. Continue cooking for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the tots are golden brown and crispy and the sausage is heated through.
Transfer the tots and sausage to a large serving dish, sprinkle with bleu cheese crumbles and drizzle with Buffalo sauce.
Sprinkle with green onions and serve with ranch dressing and celery sticks if desired.
