Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

18 baking potatoes, scrubbed
½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup butter
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and place them in a large pot with a large amount of water. Bring water to a boil, and let the potatoes boil until soft. Drain and mash well.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 cups mashed potatoes, cream, butter, salt, and sugar. Cover potatoes and refrigerate over night.
  • Mix flour into the mashed potatoes and roll the mixture into balls about the size of tennis balls, or smaller depending on preference. Keep balls of dough on plate in the refrigerator.
  • Taking one ball out of the refrigerator at a time, roll dough balls out on a floured board. To keep the dough from sticking while rolling it out, it helps to have a rolling pin with a cotton rolling pin covers.
  • Fry the lefsa in a grill or in an iron skillet at very high heat. If lefsa brown too much, turn the heat down. After cooking each piece of lefsa place on a dishtowel. Fold towel over lefsa to keep warm. Stack lefsa on top of each other and keep covered to keep from drying out.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I've found that I need to make a few adjustments to get the perfect lefsa. I add a little more butter and milk, and I cook the lefsa on a lower heat setting.

I've tried this recipe several times, and I've never been able to get the lefsa to cook evenly. The edges are always overcooked while the center is still raw.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lefsa turned out dry and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.
