"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
1/2 cup butter
1/3 cup heavy cream
|
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
|
Directions:
| 1. | Cover potatoes with water and cook until tender. Run hot potatoes through a potato ricer. Place into a large bowl. Beat butter, cream, salt, and sugar into the hot riced potatoes. Let cool to room temperature. |
| 2. | Stir flour into the potato mixture. Pull off pieces of the dough and form into walnut size balls. Lightly flour a pastry cloth and roll out lefse balls to 1/8 inch thickness. |
| 3. | Cook on a hot (400
degree F/200 C) griddle until bubbles form and each side has browned.
Place on a damp towel to cool slightly and then cover with damp towel
until ready to serve. ***I always have to add LOTS more flour |
