Christmas Lefse image

This is a Norwegian-style lefse, that our family makes together every Christmas Eve morning. The potato dough is refrigerated overnight to make the lefse more tender. Delicious spread with butter and either white sugar or brown sugar!

Time 8h35m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 pounds potatoes, peeled
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup whipping cream, or as needed
1 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place potatoes and salt into a pot and fill with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Measure in the butter and cream and mash until completely smooth. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Use your hands to shape the potato mixture into four even logs about 6 inches long. Cut each log into 4 or 5 pieces. Using just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking, roll out each portion as thinly as possible. Flip the dough over frequently and add more flour as needed. Adding too much flour can make the lefse tough so be careful.
  • Heat a lefse grill or griddle over medium heat. Cook one at a time until the lefse are golden brown with darker brown bubbles on each side, flipping over once. Use a flat lefse turner if you have one. Stack finished lefse on a plate or tray and cover with a tea towel to keep them from drying out. Once the lefse are completely cool, wrap in plastic to keep it moist.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lefse turned out thick and chewy. I'm going to try again and see if I can get it right.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I reduced the amount of sugar and it was much better.
