Procedure
Preparation of the potatoes: Peel the potatoes, rinse, dry and cut into thin slices (about 2 mm).
Soaking: Collect the slices in a bowl and cover with cold water. Let them rest for 15 minutes.
Preparation of the batter: Mix the flour in a bowl. Gradually add the carbonated water and whisk until a smooth batter is formed. Season with salt and pepper.
Flavouring: Divide the batter in half. Season one half with dried aromatic herbs and the other half with paprika.
Drying the potatoes: Drain the potatoes and dry them well on absorbent paper.
Frying: Dip the potatoes in the flavoured batter, a few at a time. Fry them in hot oil (approximately 180°C) until they are puffed up and golden brown.
Draining: Drain the potatoes on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
Serving: Bring the hot battered fried potatoes to the table.
