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
Directions
Step 1
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin sticks, about 1/4 inch wide, similar to traditional French fries.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine quinoa flour, chickpea flour, pea protein isolate, cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Drain the potato sticks and use a clean kitchen towel to pat them dry thoroughly.
Step 6
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Step 7
Dip each potato stick into the batter, ensuring an even coating, and gently place into the hot oil.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Use a slotted spoon to transfer the fried potato sticks to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
