Lefse is a traditional soft Norwegian flatbread made out of potatoes and cooked on a griddle. I like it with butter and cinnamon-sugar, or use it to roll up lutefisk and mashed potatoes in. My grandfather emigrated here from Norway when he was small, and I am enamored with all things Norwegian!

10 -12 pieces (change servings and units)

Ingredients

3-4 potatoes
3/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour, plus extra
flour, for kneading (I like to put about a cup or so in a small bowl for easy-shmeezy use)

Directions

1
peel, wash, and dry the potatoes.
2
grate them using a hand grater or a food processor.
3
add the milk, salt, flour and mix well.
4
cover with a damp towel and let sit overnight.
5
the next day: on a flour covered board, roll out dough very thin.
6
Cut it into 6" round circles.
7
transfer to heated non-stick griddle or skillet one at a time and lightly cook on each side until it gets little brown spots.
8
wrap in warm towel until ready to serve.

If I'm not mistaken it's been about 50 years since the last time I had (or even thought about) lefse, & when I saw this recipe I just knew I had to try it! Well, it's everything I remember about these tasty, rolled-up bites (I, too, had them as a kid, spread with butter & with a cinnamon/sugar sprinkling) & I'll just keep this recipe handy ~ Many thanks for sharing it!

This looks the closest to the recipe my great grandparents always used. A lot of people make the mistake of using oil when authentic lefse uses absolutely no oil. I've got a few other family recipes for scandinavian treats that have been passed down through our family if you'd like them email me: amyjlarson@hotmail.com
