How to Make Lefse (Norwegian Potato Flatbread): Passing on Family Traditions
In this video we go through the process of making lefse.
Having had a grandmother who felt strongly about passing on Norwegian traditions, we had grown up helping on lefse days, but were excited to attempt making lefse start to finish as adults on our own. I made sure to include the kids in each step along the way, in hopes they will also feel confident to pass along the tradition when they're older.
The recipe I used:
16-18 russet potatoes (8 cups once riced)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup butter
1 tbsp salt
4 cups flour
Peel, then boil the potatoes until tender. Drain the liquid and rice the potatoes. (I riced the potatoes twice). Add the cream, butter, and salt - allow this mixture to cool completely.
Once cooled, add flour and make a soft dough. Roll the dough into balls (tennis ball size or smaller) and refrigerate.

If lefse (pronounced lhef-sa) isn't a part of your holidays, then adopt this delicious and fun Norwegian tradition into your family's yearly celebrations. Lefse is a potato flatbread rolled out with a specially grooved rolling pin then cooked on a super-hot griddle. Typically, the warm flatbread is slathered in butter, given a generous sprinkling of cinnamon-sugar, then rolled up and devoured. It's a little savory, a lot sweet, and very rich - the perfect combination for a holiday treat.

These Norwegian potato flatbreads, or lefse, as your average Vikings fan would call them, combine two of my favorite things in the world – bread, particularly flatbread, and potatoes.

Norwegian Lefse-
10 med potatoes (5lbs)
1/2 c butter
1/2 c cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 tablespoon sugar
2 1/2 c flour
(Makes about 20)
Peal potatoes and cut into equal chunks. Boil in salted water until barely fork tender (do not over boil). Drain and “rice” potatoes into large bowl. Add butter, cream, salt, and sugar. Mash together with a potato masher.
Chill over night.
In the morning add flour and work in with hands. Form into a log and cut into even sections. Balls should be the size of a small tennis ball. Kneed each ball a little, pat into a patty and roll end on table to form a nice edge and prevent cracking.
Keep dough patties in the fridge and pull out one at a time as needed.
Roll on heavily floured board until very thin, you should see the writing on the board through the lefse. Fry until bubbly and lightly browned on each side, about 1-2 mins per side.
Serve with butter and brown or white sugar. Cool on towel and refrigerate any extras.
Needed:
Potato Ricer
Lefse board with cover
Lefse rolling pin with cover
Electric Lefse fryer
Lefse sticks
