WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE THIS LEFSE

It's soft & pillowy! The dough is simple to make and work with. It's amazing with all kinds of toppings. Make it for holidays & get-togethers.

INGREDIENTS

- RUSSET POTATOES - ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR - KOSHER SALT - SUGAR - HEAVY CREAM - TOPPINGS (BUTTER, SUGAR, JAM, HAM & CHEESE, EGGS, ETC.)

01

PREP THE POTATOES

1. Peel the potatoes & boil until fork tender. 2. Rice the potatoes and toss them with butter. 3. Spoon the potatoes into a 9x13 pan and chill overnight.

02

MAKE THE DOUGH

1. Add the chilled potatoes to the bowl of a stand mixer. 2. Add the flour, salt, sugar, & heavy cream. 3. Mix with a dough hook until the dough is combined.

03

SHAPE THE DOUGH

1. Scoop the dough into even sized balls. 2. Using clean hands, pat the balls into discs. 3. Cover the discs with a linen to keep the dough from drying out.

04

ROLL & COOK

1. Roll the dough into a large circle on a floured surface. 2. Using a lefse stick, transfer the dough to a griddle. 3. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until golden-brown.

PRO-TIP

Don't be afraid to use a lot of flour when you're rolling out the lefse dough! This dough is very delicate, so work gently and use a generous amount of flour.

CAN I MAKE THIS LEFSE RECIPE GLUTEN-FREE?

I haven't tried a gluten-free version but I definitely think you could replace the flour with a 1-to-1 replacement like Cup4Cup!

STORING LEFTOVERS

To store leftover potato lefse, wrap the lefse in a linen. (This keeps it from drying out.) Then, place the entire stack in a zipper bag & refrigerate for 4-5 days.
