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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or a large, deep pot to 350°F (175°C).
Step 4
Dip the dried potato strips into the protein batter, ensuring they are well coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Season the fries with additional salt if needed and serve immediately for the best crispiness.
