Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer for even slices.
In a large bowl, combine chickpea flour, whey protein isolate, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Slowly add cold water to the dry ingredients, whisking continuously until a smooth batter forms. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but smooth and free of lumps.
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or deep-fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each potato slice into the batter, ensuring it is well-coated, and let any excess batter drip off.
Carefully add the coated potato slices to the hot oil in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the potato slices for about 4-5 minutes per side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the potato slices from the oil and drain them on a plate lined with paper towels.
Repeat the process with the remaining potato slices.
Serve the high protein crispy fried potato slices hot, garnished with a sprinkle of extra salt or preferred herbs.
