This is Fitzmorris' recipe:
Brabant Potatoes
"In most restaurants, these are nothing more than cube-shaped French fries. But if you take the extra step outlined below--drizzling them with garlic butter and then running them through the oven for a few minutes--you'll have a side dish so incredible that you'd better make a lot of them."
4 large white potatoes, very starchy (no green)
2-3 cups vegetable oil (preferably canola or peanut oil)
2 cloves garlic, minced very fine
1 sprig parsley, minced very fine
1 stick butter
2 Tbs. olive oil
2 tsp. Creole seasoning
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. 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. 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. 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.
Serves four.

Pull PP 's from La Kitchen. If you don't have the book, I'll post it.

Put it up as I lost my copy years ago just as a comparison for the one above. I tried the interwebz and came up with squat under the name search which I thought kind of weird.

Paul Prudhomme's Brabant Potatoes
Ingredients
2.5 quarts of water
2 T of salt
3 large white potatoes, unpeeled
1/4 t white pepper
1/4 t onion powder
1/4 t garlic powder
1/4 t black pepper
1/8 t cumin
1/8 t red pepper
Canola or veg oil for frying
Salt the water (with 1 T of the salt) and bring to a rapid arse boil.quarter the taters with the quickness, while listening to Sinatra and sipping a slightly dirty vodka martini. 1 inch cubes are recommended. Add the potatoes to the water and simmer until fork tender. Mix and enjoy another cocktail.
Drain and rinse the potatoes with cold water to stop the cooking. Mix all seasonings(with the remaining 1 T of salt), and season the potatoes evenly....toss in a bowl to coat well.
Heat an inch of oil to 350....sip that drink. Batch fry the taters until golden on all sides, drain on a wrack and serve.
My mods....you can season with your favorite seasoning blend (use Tony's lIke salt) and the end result will be excellent. I also prefer to deep fry...easier to get uniform browning.Don't overcook the potatoes in the parboil stage...they still need to be somewhat firm. Lastly, I detest white pepper...I always replace it with red, black or a mix of both.

I think I can do that, especially with the suggested lubrication of the moving parts.
