Lefse image

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!

Time P1DT20m

Yield 10-12 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

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)

Steps:

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

I'm not a huge fan of lefse, but I thought this recipe was pretty good. The dough was light and fluffy, and the filling was flavorful.

I had a hard time finding lingonberry preserves, so I used raspberry preserves instead. It was still delicious.

My lefse turned out a little too thick. I think I rolled the dough out too thinly.

I didn't have any cardamom on hand, so I used a little bit of ground cloves instead. It turned out great!

I would definitely recommend using a potato ricer for this recipe. It makes the dough so much smoother.

I've tried a few different lefse recipes, but this one is by far the best. The dough is easy to work with, and the finished product is soft and chewy.

Lefse is a great make-ahead breakfast or snack. It's also a fun activity to do with kids.

This lefse recipe is an absolute keeper! The taste and texture were spot-on, and it was surprisingly easy to make. My family loved them, and they'll definitely be a regular in our breakfast rotation.
