Ingredients
-
7 pounds of potatoes (approx. 30 small ones)
5 tbsp butter
4 tbsp Crisco
1/8 cup sugar
Small amount of milk, if needed. (It will depend on how much moisture is in the potatoes.)
2 1/2 cups flour (plus flour for prepping)
Tips
In my opinion, this is best hot off the grill, but it can also be eaten cold or room temperature. I use a small amount of butter and sugar to sweeten it. (Norwegians wrap it around hot dogs. To each his own.)
Leftover lefse can be stored at room temperature for a day or two, but it keeps best in the fridge or freezer.
Directions
Cook, but do not overcook, the potatoes.
In a large bowl, drain and mash potatoes will all but the flour. After mashing, rice and cool the potatoes (usually in the fridge overnight).
Add about 2 1/2 cups flour to riced potatoes, mix, then knead until not too sticky to roll out. Use an ice cream scoop to make balls of dough. Put on floured cookie sheet and refrigerate.
Roll out each ball separately on cloth-covered, floured board with a sleeve-covered lefse rolling pin (one with grooves) until the dough is very thin.
Bake on grill (lefse grill works best) until bubbles appear; flip once and bake the other side; about a minute each side. There should be light brown spots across both sides.
Place between cloths to cool.
