Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Arrange tater tots in a single layer and air fry in batches for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Whip the cottage cheese. While the tots cook, blend the cottage cheese in a food processor until smooth and creamy.
Dice the dill pickles to your preferred thickness. I like to keep them chunky for extra crunch.
Mix the potato salad. Once all the tater tots are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Add the blended cottage cheese, Dijon mustard, diced pickles, fresh dill, and spices. Gently toss to coat. It’s totally fine if some of the tots get a little smooshed in the process!
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve immediately while the tater tots are still warm and crispy for the best texture and flavor.
