Ingredients

  • 3 Lbs Potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Sugar
  • 1/4 cup Melted Butter
  • 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
  • 1 1/2 cups All purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 14 tablespoons Butter
  • 3/4 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Heavy Cream

Instructions

1
bubble the potatoes.
2
skin the potatoes while still mildly hot and run them through a potato ricer twice.
3
▢ Let the potatoes cool in an uncovered mixing bowl in the fridge.
4
▢ agitate the seasoning, granulated sugar, melted shortening, and heavy cream into the riced potatoes.
5
▢ gently empty in the baking flour and shape by hand until you get a good consistency.
6
Don't empty in more baking flour than necessary! Roll the pastry mix into a long sausage and divide into about 7 or 8 pieces if using an 18 inch griddle.
7
If using a smaller griddle or frying pot, divide the pastry mix into 10 – 12 pieces.
8
▢ Roll each piece into a ball and then press into a flat circle, using the edges of your hands to form the pastry mix into a nice circle shape without any cracks.
9
This is important, otherwise you won't get round lefser.
10
▢ fiery up up your griddle on medium/high fiery up.
11
▢ baking flour your rolling surface and roll the lefse pastry mix into a large circle slightly smaller than your griddle or frying pot.
12
Begin rolling with a even rolling pin, then switch to a corrugated rolling pin as the lefse gets thinner.
13
Don't use too much baking flour, as then the edges can become hard.
14
▢ Roll the lefse onto your lefse stick and then gently unroll it onto your griddle.
15
After a minute or two check the underside of the lefse for brown spots and then use the lefse stick to flip the lefse and make on the other side.
16
▢ Use the lefse stick to remove the lefse from the griddle and place it in a folded damp sheet or tablecloth.
