Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 1 cup Chickpea flour
- 0.5 cup Whey protein isolate
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 4 cups Vegetable oil
- 0.75 cup Water
Instructions
Peel the russet potatoes and use a mandoline slicer to cut them into thin shoestring strips. Soak the cut potatoes in a large bowl of cold water for 10 minutes to remove excess starch, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, whey protein isolate, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Slowly add the water while stirring to form a smooth batter.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
Dip the dried potato strips into the protein batter, ensuring they are well coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
Carefully place the coated potato strips into the hot oil in batches. Fry each batch for 3-5 minutes or until the fries are golden and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the fries from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Season the fries with additional salt if needed and serve immediately for the best crispiness.
