Brabant Potatoes

Instructions

1. 1

   Scrub the outsides of the potatoes under cold running water, or peel if you don't like potato skins. Cut into large dice about 1/2 inch on a side, wash again, and drain well. Allow 5-10 minutes for the potatoes to dry.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a large saucepan or deep skillet to 375 degrees. Put the potatoes in and fry until they're a very light brown. Remove them from the oil with a skimmer and drain on paper towels.

3. 3

   Arrange potatoes in one layer on a baking pan or dish. In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt the butter in the olive oil. When butter is hot, add the garlic and parsley and cook just until the garlic is fragrant.

4. 4

   Remove butter from heat and spoon over the potatoes. Put the pan of potatoes into the oven and bake for five to seven minutes--until edges becomes a crisp, medium-dark brown. Sprinkle with Creole seasoning and serve with a little extra garlic butter, if you have any left.
