Authentic Norwegian Lefse Recipe

Ingredients

• 10 pounds potatoes, peeled
• 0.5 cup butter
• 0.33 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon white sugar
• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. Start by gathering all of your ingredients.
2. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, approximately 20 minutes. Drain the water completely.
3. While the potatoes are still hot, use a potato ricer to process them into a large bowl. Add butter, cream, salt, and sugar, then beat until well combined. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature.
4. Gradually stir flour into the potato mixture until a soft dough forms. Take small portions of the dough and shape them into walnut-sized balls.
5. Lightly dust a clean cloth with flour and roll out each lefse ball to a thin, 1/8-inch thickness.
6. Preheat a griddle over high heat until it's very hot.
7. Place the lefse on the hot griddle and cook until brown blisters appear, about 1 minute per side. Transfer the cooked lefse to a damp towel to cool slightly. Repeat the process with the remaining dough, stacking the cooked lefse on top of each other and covering them until you're ready to serve.
