Instant Potato Norwegian Lefse

Ingredients

• 4 cups potato flakes
• 4 tablespoons sugar
• 3 cups water
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1 1/2 cups butter
• 3 teaspoons salt
• 2-3 cups flour (enough to make a rolling dough)

Directions

1. 1

   In a large saucepan or pot, bring the water to boil and add the milk, butter, sugar, and salt. When the milk has come to a boil, add the potato flakes and stir until smooth. Pour the potatoes into a large bowl and refrigerate.

2. 2

   When ready to make the lefse, take out 2 cups of potatoes at a time and add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of flour and stir until it becomes a workable dough. Flour a counter surface and roll the dough out as thin as possible. Cut individual slices with the a round cookie cutter, or the top of a medium sized glass.

3. 3

   Add about 1 tsp oil to a skillet pan and cook the lefse for about 3-5 minutes, or when brown blisters start to form on the top. Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes.

4. 4

   Continue to cook the individual slices until the potato dough is gone. You may be able to cook several lefse at a time if you have a large enough skillet, if not cook one at a time. Any leftover cooked lefse may be refrigerate and used for about 3-5 more days.
