Adventures of Lefse
So I decided this year since I would not be enjoying my Grandmother’s lefse, I would make my own. I have this thing for traditions that have been passed down and holidays just aren’t the same for me without a certain number of things…lefse being one of them.
First you peel potatoes (20 lbs in this case). I was a little over zealous. Then I didn’t realize how lonnnngggg the process takes.
I spent an entire Sunday afternoon rolling out gooey little balls of potatoe dough and trying to get them paper thin. I was not successful at the thin thing. Mine are more like fat pancakes that authentic lefse but hey, it’s a first time shot here folks so be patient.
The end result is a large stack of traditional Norwegian potatoe cakes that are yummy-licious with butter and perhaps a light sprinkling of sugar if you want a sweet version.

Those look pretty thin to me…and delicious! When I was growing up the grandma next door would make potato pancakes and I’d look for any excuse to get over there and try some! Next time you need to peel 20# of potatoes, you can borrow my kids– that’s what they’re for!
