1

Raid the Pantry

First things first, gather all the ingredients you'll need for the Lefse-making extravaganza. Here's your shopping list: 10 pounds of russet potatoes, 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of melted butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and some extra flour for dusting. Make sure to wash and peel those potatoes like a pro!

2

Boil, Mash, and Cool

Boil the peeled potatoes until they're soft and mashable. Drain the potatoes and let them cool for about 10 minutes. Once they've cooled down a bit, grab your masher and mash away until you have smooth potato goodness.

3

The Dough Dance

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, melted butter, sugar, and salt. Give it a good mix until everything is nicely incorporated. Now, add the flour gradually while stirring, until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky. Time to put on your dancing shoes and knead that dough!

4

Roll and Flip

Divide the dough into small golf ball-sized portions. On a well-floured surface, roll out each portion into a thin circle, about 1/8 inch thick. This takes some finesse and a bit of practice, so don't worry if your first few attempts end up looking like map outlines! Once rolled, flip the dough onto a hot, ungreased griddle.

5

Griddle Party

Cook each Lefse round on the griddle for about 1-2 minutes on each side, until they turn a lovely golden brown. Keep the finished Lefse warm in a towel-lined basket while you cook the rest. It's like a pancake party, but with a hint of Norwegian flair!

6

Serve and Savor

Place the warm and delicious Lefse on a platter and serve them with a variety of toppings. Some traditional options include butter, cinnamon-sugar, lingonberry jam, or even savory fillings like smoked salmon and cream cheese. Let your taste buds dance with joy as you enjoy the fruits (or, in this case, flatbreads) of your labor!
