Lefse is a Norwegian flatbread made out of potatoes that my family makes every Christmas. We like to serve it with butter and sugar, but you can also add cinnamon, jams, etc. or serve it with meatballs or deli meat!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Potato Moisture Magic 💧After boiling potatoes, spread them out on a baking sheet and let them cool completely to remove excess moisture, ensuring a light and fluffy lefse texture.
- Flour Dusting Technique 🌬️Use a fine-mesh sifter to evenly dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour, preventing sticking without creating heavy, dense patches in the dough.
- Rolling Pin Pro Tip 🥄Invest in a traditional long, thin Norwegian-style lefse rolling pin or cover a standard rolling pin with a special cloth cover to prevent sticking and achieve the perfect thin consistency.
- Temperature Control Mastery 🔥Use a traditional lefse griddle or a large cast-iron skillet heated to exactly 400°F to achieve the signature golden-brown spots without burning.
- Potato Rice Revolution 🥔Use a potato ricer instead of mashing to create an ultra-smooth potato base that ensures a more consistent and tender lefse with no lumps.
