Old Norwegian Lefse

Old Norwegian Lefse

Ingredients:
5 large potatoes, peeled ½ cup sweet cream
1 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons butter

Directions:
Flour (½ cup for each cup mashed potatoes)
Boil potatoes and mash very fine. Add cream, butter, and salt. Beat until light and let cool;
add flour. Take a piece of the dough, roll as for pie crust, rolling as thin as possible and as
large as it will go on griddle. Bake until a light brown, turning frequently to prevent scorching.
Pile on a plate, buttering each one. You can sprinkle cinnamon and sugar on them for a special
treat. They are necessary when you are eating lutefisk.
