had you posted a recipe before ?

No, but I will if you want. You need a special rolling pin for lefse, and a turning stick.

You need a rolling pin with grooves like the two shown. The “sock” wrap is a huge help in rolling this dough out. The larger one was my grandmother’s and the smaller one I found in an antique store. The turning stick my cousin bought me at a Scandinavian festival in Oregon.

I’ll post the recipe next.

yes, the dough can be a bit sticky, but you don't want to over-flour it, so the sock helps to keep it from sticking to the rolling pin.

To me lefse is like a potato tortilla. We always had it on Christmas with meatballs.

Lefse Recipe

8 cups cooked, riced potatoes
1 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup butter
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 TB sugar
1 3/4 - 2 cups flour

Warm cream with the butter until butter is melted. Mix together with potatoes, salt and sugar at medium speed in mixer. Allow to cool.

After it is cool, mix in the flour by hand until a soft dough forms. Roll into balls, about 2" each. Pat balls lightly with flour. Sprinkle rolling pin and rolling surface lightly with flour. Roll the balls out into very thin rounds and cook on an ungreased griddle until lightly browned on both sides.

It's important to make this with the least amount of flour possible, while still keeping the dough manageable. You want the size of the balls to roll out to a size that fits your pan, so you may need to make them smaller.
