Lefse

It's a Scandinavian potato crepe, made as a treat here in Canada, usually for Christmas or Easter.

Lefse (Mom's recipe)

3 c cooked, riced potatoes (you need a ricer to get the right texture)
4 tbsp oil
1 tsp salt
1 c flour
1 tsp sugar

Mix ingredients well. Take a large tablespoon of dough and roll in hands to a round shape. Roll as thin as you can on a well-floured board. Bake on top of grill, electric frying pan or on top of a wood stove. Bake on both sides until brown spots appear.



In my family, we spread a thin layer of butter on it and a sprinkle of sugar, then roll it up.
Other families might put jam on it, or even meat or cheese.

  1. Thanks for this recipe. My grandfather (Quist) was Swedish and settled in Maine USA after 12 years on a merchant ship. I have only a few connections to the food and culture.
