Ingredients
5 cups riced potatoes (use russet)1 tsp. salt6 tbsp. butter1 tsp sugar (optional, for color)1 cup white flour
Scrub approximately 9 medium russet potatoes and boil them until tender. Put them through a ricer (skins will be strained out). Whisk in salt, sugar and butter, mixing well, then add flour with a slotted spoon. The amount of flour can be altered, but lefse will be tougher with more.
Turn onto well-floured board and make two rolls. Divide into pieces the size of a large egg and roll into balls. At this point, lefse may be stored in the refrigerator, or rolled out and baked.
Heat griddle to 500 degrees, and work a cup of flour into board and rolling pin. Roll each ball out thinly (like a tortilla) and lift with lefse stick and turn onto griddle, flipping stick to lay out lefse. Bake 1 minute on each side; lefse should have light brown spots. Store between clean cloths while baking, to prevent it from drying out. Cut each round in half and fold and stack. May be stored in plastic bag in freezer.
