Potet Lefse




Source of Recipe


Norway


Recipe Introduction


Lefse does not always have to be served with cinnamon and sugar. It can be used much like tortillas and served with just plain butter "lefse klenning". Served with savories such as lutefisk, meats, or ham and eggs. Good with berries or jelly also


List of Ingredients




5 large potatoes
1/2 C sweet cream
3 T butter
1 tsp salt
flour, use 1/2 C to each cup of mashed potatoes

Recipe



Boil potatoes, mash fine and add cream, butter and salt. Beat until light and then let cool. Add flour and roll into ball of dough, kneading until smooth. Form into a long roll and slice in pieces about the size of an egg, or larger, depending on the size of the lefse desired. Roll each piece round as for pie crust and as thin as possible. Bake on lefse griddle or pancake griddle until light brown, turning frequently so as not to scorch. Use moderate heat. Do not grease the pan. When baked, place between clean cloths or grease resistant paper to keep them from becoming dry. Serve cold with butter, sugar and cinnamon. cut each lefse in half or fourths and roll up before serving.
