Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Wash, peel and cut the potatoes into strips. Soak in water and dry well.
- On a parchment paper lined baking sheet, toss the potatoes, creole seasoning and oil. Using your hands, toss well until everything is evenly coated.
- Bake for 20 minutes, checking after 10 minutes to flip for even browning.
- Remove from oven and coat potatoes with fresh Parmesan and parsley.

DOUBLE-FRIED FRENCH FRIES
Steps:
- Peel potatoes on the sides, leaving the ends with the skin on. Cut the potatoes into 1/3-inch slices and then slice into 1/3-inch sticks.
- Fill a large bowl with water and soak potatoes, submerged, for at least 30 minutes up to 24 hours. This will help remove the excess starch from the potatoes and keep them from oxidizing.
- Heat a heavy stock pot fitted with a deep-fry thermometer with oil to 325 degrees F.
- Remove potatoes from the water, and pat dry to remove excess water. Add 2 handfuls of potatoes to hot oil. There should be at least 1-inch of oil above the potatoes. Par cook until potatoes are light brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove potatoes, gently shaking off excess oil and let drain on rack. Repeat until all of the potatoes are par cooked.
- Raise heat of oil to 350 degrees F.
- Cook potatoes again, 2 handfuls at a time, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Remove from oil, shake off excess oil, and season lightly in a bowl with salt and pepper. Repeat until all potatoes are cooked.

Steps:
- Peel and rinse the potatoes. Then cut them into sticks by cutting the potato in 4 or 5 vertical pieces, and then cutting each piece into sticks.
- Place them in a large bowl and cover with cold water. Allow them to soak, 2 to 3 hours. (You can also stick them in the fridge and let them soak overnight.)
- When you're ready to make the fries, drain off the water and lay the potatoes on 2 baking sheets lined with paper towels. Blot with paper towels to dry them.
- Heat a few inches of oil in a heavy pot to 300 degrees F. In 3 or 4 batches, cook the potatoes until soft, 4 to 5 minutes per batch. They should not be brown at this point! You just want to start the cooking process. Remove each batch and drain on new/dry paper towels.
- Once all the potatoes have been fried at 300 degrees F, turn up the heat until the oil reaches 400 degrees F. When the oil's hot, start frying the potatoes in batches again, cooking until the fries are golden and crisp. Remove the potatoes from the oil and drain on paper towels.
- Sprinkle with sea salt and dive in!
Tips for Making the Best French Fries
- Choose the right potatoes. Russet potatoes are the best choice for french fries because they are high in starch and low in sugar. This makes them crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
- Cut the potatoes into even-sized pieces. This will help them cook evenly.
- Soak the potatoes in cold water for 30 minutes. This will help to remove the excess starch, which will make the fries less greasy.
- Dry the potatoes thoroughly before frying. This will help them crisp up.
- Fry the potatoes in hot oil. The ideal temperature for frying french fries is between 325°F and 350°F.
- Fry the potatoes in batches. This will prevent them from overcrowding the pan and sticking together.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown and crispy. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes on paper towels. This will help to remove excess oil.
- Season the potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the fries hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
