Serves 4
3 large red potatoes (1 1/2 pounds)
2 cloves of roasted garlic
1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1 dash freshly ground sea salt
Olive oil for greasing pan
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Scrub the potatoes clean and roast until they are fork tender. Cool them rapidly by plunging them in ice water. Change the water, and repeat, until the potatoes are cool.
- Shred the potatoes on the large holes of a box grater. You can peel them first; I didn’t.
- Place the other ingredients into the bowl with the grated potatoes and use a fork to fully combine everything.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and rub it with a layer of olive oil.
- Preheat oven to 425° F.
- Using about a teaspoon of the potato mixture, form it into a cylinder about 1 inch long. Place on baking sheet and repeat until all the tots are made.
- Bake about 35 to 40 minutes, turning once about 20 minutes into the cooking time.
- Serve hot with ketchup.

So far, over 60,000 people have signed their name to our petition calling on the Environmental Protection Agency to save the Renewable Fuel Standard.
It looks like yours is missing.
As General Clark wrote a few weeks ago, “As veterans, military family members, and VoteVets supporters, we have a unique understanding about the cost of our dependence on foreign oil. It’s not just measured in the price at the pump, or a changing climate, but also in the lives lost and changed through deployments to protect the flow of oil in the Middle East.”
The RFS ensures that a minimum amount of renewable fuels are used for transportation in the United States — and it’s important.
We’ve decided to run a television in ad in several key states about this issue. Watch our spot and sign-on to our petition before we deliver it later this month.

Thanks for standing with veterans and military family members on this important issue. We’ll be in touch.
