Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces large russet potatoes
- 1 cup quinoa flour
- 0.5 cup chickpea flour
- 0.5 cup unflavored pea protein isolate
- 1.25 cups water
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups oil for frying
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin sticks, about 1/4 inch wide, similar to traditional French fries.
Place the potato sticks in a bowl of cold water for at least 15 minutes to remove excess starch, which helps in making them crispier.
In a mixing bowl, combine quinoa flour, chickpea flour, pea protein isolate, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Gradually add water to the flour mix, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter. The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Drain the potato sticks and use a clean kitchen towel to pat them dry thoroughly.
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each potato stick into the batter, ensuring an even coating, and gently place into the hot oil.
Fry the potato sticks in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. Cook each batch for about 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried potato sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
