Norwegian Lefse

Norwegian Lefse

I was raised on lefse as a special treat for the holidays. We still make it every holiday season and this is the best recipe ever. We eat ours with butter and sugar. Note: you will need a potato ricer to prepare this recipe.

Ingredients

  • 10 pounds potatoes, peeled
  • ½ cup butter
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1
Gather all ingredients.

Step 2
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes; drain.

Step 3
Run hot potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Beat butter, cream, salt, and sugar into riced potatoes. Let cool to room temperature.

Step 4
Stir flour into potato mixture to form a soft dough. Pull off pieces of dough and form into walnut-sized balls.

Step 5
Lightly flour a clean cloth and roll out lefse balls to 1/8-inch thick.

Step 6
Heat a griddle over high heat.

Step 7
Cook lefse on the hot griddle until brown blisters form, about 1 minute per side. Place cooked lefse on a damp towel to cool slightly. Repeat with remaining dough, stacking them on top of each other as they're cooked; cover until ready to serve.
