These famous Norwegian Potato Pancakes are more like flatbreads; they are traditionally eaten with butter and cream as a dessert, or sprinkled with cinnamon sugar as an accompaniment to coffee. I think these would be wonderful eaten with fried bacon and mushrooms, for a delicious brunch and breakfast idea. The Norwegians will also eat these with local goat's cheese, snofrisk, or with dried/smoked reindeer meat.

SERVES 6 -8 , 12 -16 Lefse (change servings and units)

Ingredients

500 g boiled potatoes, mashed
100 g rye flour
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
fat (for cooking)

Directions

1
Put the mashed potatoes into a large bowl and add the flour, sugar and salt - mix well.
2
Add some water - bit by bit, kneading well so it makes a pliable dough.
3
Take little balls from the dough - the size of a small egg and roll them out thinly on a well floured surface.
4
Heat up a flat griddle, hotplate or skillet and cook the Lefse with a little fat until the dough bubbles.
5
Turn them over and cook the other side.
6
When the Lefse have been cooked - they should be smooth and soft.
7
Eat them as I have suggested in the Introduction!
8
For Vegetarian make sure the Fat is from a Vegetable product such as vegetable oil not from an animal product such as lard.

We REALLY liked these. We put a strawberry compote on top with sugar - very good! I have to share though... Tom says they taste like McDonald's hash browns and dipped some of them in ketchup They were delish both ways (and he is right, they are good in ketchup too!). Made for ZWT3.
