Boil water and add 6 lobster tails, cooking until they turn bright red and rise to the surface.

Let the lobster tails cool slightly before handling.

Use kitchen shears to cut open the lobster tails and remove the meat, ensuring no meat is left behind.

Rough chop the lobster meat into large pieces and place in a bowl.

Add half a stick of unsalted butter, a teaspoon of garlic powder, and a teaspoon of Creole seasoning to the lobster meat and mix.

Add a little mayonnaise, parsley, and fresh lemon juice to the mixture, ensuring to catch any seeds from the lemon.

Set the lobster mixture aside to let the flavors meld while preparing the home fries.

Peel and rinse the potatoes, then pat them dry to remove moisture for crispiness.

Slice and dice the potatoes, then heat oil for frying, testing the oil temperature before adding the fries.

Fry the potatoes in small batches, adjusting the heat as necessary, and keep them warm in a preheated oven at 200°F.

Butter the inside and outside of brioche hot dog buns with garlic butter.

Stuff the buns with the lobster mixture and drizzle with more butter before placing them on the top rack of the oven to broil for a few minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Serve the lobster rolls hot and enjoy.
