Reply #5: Lefse is yummy...

[Left Is Write]

It is a Norwegian flatbread made with mashed potatoes. You make the mashed potatoes with butter, milk and salt, as if you were just going to eat them that way, then let them get cold. When the potatoes are cold, you add just enough flour to make a pliable dough, which is rolled very thinly with a special rolling pin (gives it a waffled effect). The thin rounds of dough are baked on a lefse griddle at a very high temperature (about 500 degrees) for about a minute on each side. We spread butter on it, sprinkle it with sugar, roll it up, and eat it. The process for making it sounds simple, but it really takes a lot of practice and experience to get it just right.

I've had lefse at every Thanksgiving and every Christmas since I was old enough to eat solid food. :D
