Dipping Sauce:

- Dash of kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven: to 200°F.
- Grate Potatoes: Using box grater or food processor fitted with grating disc, coarsely grate potatoes.
- Rinse Potatoes: Transfer potatoes to colander and rinse with cold water to remove excess starch. Drain and repeat this process twice more.
- Dry Potatoes: Pat potatoes dry with paper towel and transfer to a large bowl.
- Combine: Add Gnar Gnar, onion, garlic, scallions, cumin, pepper and salt and mix with a wooden spoon until the ingredients are well distributed.
- Add ingredients: Next add your flour, baking powder and eggs mixing until all ingredients are moist, but be careful not to overwork the batter.
- Heat skillet: In heavy-bottomed, 12-inch skillet over moderately high heat, heat 3 ounces of oil hot but not smoking.
- Cook: Drop about 2 Tablespoons of the potato mixture into pan and flatten with spatula to form four 2-inch pancakes.
- Flip: Fry until bottoms are golden-brown, 4 to 5 minutes, then turn over and fry until golden-brown and crisp, an additional 4 to 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels to drain. Keep warm on baking sheets in oven while making remaining pancakes.
Notes
For the sauce: In a small mixing bowl combine all the ingredients. Using a rubber spatula transfer your sauce to a small air tight container. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
