Fry the potatoes in batches until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally for overall color. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with Creole seasoning. To assemble, spread some of the peanut buttter over each slice of bread. Peel and slice the bananas, 1/4-inch thick. Lay the slices of bananas over the peanut butter.
