Title: Potato Lefse
Categories: Scandinavia Bread Pancake
Yield: 1 Servings

3	c	Mashed potatoes
1/2	c	Butter
2	tb	Cream or half & half
2	ts	Sugar
1	ts	Salt
1	c	Flour (add 1/2 c more flour
		If needed to roll.)

Add butter, cream, sugar and salt to hot potatoes, then cool before adding flour.

Mix well and form into a ball the size of a pie crust before rolling. Roll on floured board with a LEFSE Pin ( or regular rolling pin.) Bake on Lefse grill (or large frying pan) until light brown on both sides - not hard. Fold twice and put between tea towels. Freezes well. From Inga Packard's recipe box, now in Dottie Theriault's collection.

BTW, I also have a special wooden stick called a Lefse Turner my beloved Inga gave me as well as a Lefse Rolling Pin. Now guess I had better get busy and get my Lefse made.

LEFSE (A flat bread, moist like a pancake. Best served hot or cold with butter spread upon it and sprinkled with sugar then rolled like a cigar.) I prefer the POTATO LEFSE below:
