Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Using a melon baller, scoop out as many rounds from the raw potatoes as you can and place them in a large saucepan filled with cold water.
- Salt the water, bring it to a boil, and then cook the potatoes for 4 minutes. Drain well and set them aside for a moment.
- Preheat the oven to 425 F. Melt the oil and butter, or duck fat, in a large ovenproof skillet set over medium-low heat.
- Add the blanched potato rounds to the pan and gently toss them so they are evenly coated in the fat. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the potatoes and then roast them, stirring occasionally, in the heated oven for 25 to 30 minutes.
- The Parisian potatoes are done when they turn golden brown. Serve immediately as a side dish with steak, chicken, or seafood.

Steps:
- Mix together the Mashed Potatoes, flour, egg, parsley, Parmesan, mozzarella and black pepper in a bowl. Place the breadcrumbs on a large plate.
- Form the potato mix into 12 golf-ball-sized balls. The mixture will be a little sticky, so wet your hands a little as you go. Place the balls directly on the breadcrumbs and roll each ball in the breadcrumbs, pressing to make sure they stick well. Put the breadcrumbed balls on a plate.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or Dutch oven to 375 degrees F, or until the mixture bubbles when a breadcrumb is added.
- Add the balls to the oil and fry until golden brown on all sides, 3 to 5 minutes total. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle immediately with salt.
- Garnish with more Parmesan and parsley.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into pieces of approximately the same size. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and add the potatoes. Bring to a boil and cook until a fork easily slides into the potatoes with no resistance and the potatoes almost, but not totally, fall apart, 30 to 35 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Drain the potatoes in a large colander. Place them back into the dry pot and put the pot on the stove. Mash the potatoes over a low heat, allowing all the steam to escape.
- Turn off the stove and add the butter, cream cheese and half-and-half. Mash, mash, mash! Add the seasoned salt and black pepper.
- Stir well and place in a medium baking dish. Throw a few pats of butter over the top of the potatoes and place bake until the butter has melted and the potatoes are warmed through, a few minutes.

Steps:
- Make duchesse potatoes:
- Peel potatoes and cut into 1-inch pieces. Cover potatoes with cold salted water by 1 inch in a 2-quart pot, then simmer, uncovered, until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain potatoes in a colander and return to pot. Dry potatoes by shaking pot over low heat until all moisture is evaporated and a film begins to appear on bottom of pot, about 2 minutes.
- Force potatoes through ricer into a bowl. Add butter, whole egg and yolk, salt, and pepper and stir with a wooden spoon until very smooth. Keep potato mixture warm, covered.
- Make pâte à choux:
- Bring water, butter, salt, pepper, and nutmeg to a boil in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over high heat, then reduce heat to moderate.
- Add flour all at once and stir briskly with a wooden spoon until mixture pulls away from side of pan, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly, about 3 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, stirring well after each addition. Add potato mixture and stir until combined well. Transfer mixture to pastry bag.
- Form and fry potatoes:
- Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F.
- Heat 2 inches oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until thermometer registers 370°F.
- Resting metal tip of pastry bag on edge of pot, pipe 8 (2-inch) lengths of potato mixture directly into oil (use caution when piping into hot oil), using a small knife or kitchen shears to cut off each length of dough at tip of bag. Fry potatoes, turning over once with a slotted spoon, until crisp, golden, and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain briefly. Fry remaining potato mixture in batches in same manner.
- Transfer potatoes as fried and drained to a metal rack set in a large shallow baking pan in oven to keep them crisp and warm until ready to serve.

Steps:
- Peel the potatoes. If they are ''new'' potatoes, there should be at least 24. Leave them whole. If they are large Idaho potatoes, cut each of them into four equal-size pieces.
- Place the potatoes in a large saucepan and add water to cover and salt to taste. Bring to the boil and simmer until tender, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on size. Do not overcook.
- Drain and add the butter and parsley, turning the potatoes gently in the butter until they are coated.

Tips:
- To make sure the potato balls are evenly cooked, use a sharp knife to cut the potatoes into uniform-sized pieces.
- Soak the potato balls in cold water for at least 30 minutes before frying. This will help to remove the excess starch and prevent the potato balls from sticking together.
- Dry the potato balls thoroughly before frying. This will help them to crisp up.
- Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil to fry the potato balls. The oil should be hot enough to fry the potato balls quickly without burning them.
- Fry the potato balls in batches so that they do not overcrowd the pan. Overcrowding will cause the potato balls to stick together and not cook evenly.
- Season the potato balls with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the potato balls immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
