FOOD.COM INSTANT POTATO NORWEIGIAN LEFSE
4 cups potato flakes
4 tablespoons sugar
3 cups water
2 1⁄2 cups milk
1 1⁄2 cups butter
3 teaspoons salt
2 -3 cups flour (enough to make a rolling dough)
In a large saucepan or pot, bring the water to boil and add the milk, butter, sugar, and salt. When the milk has come to a boil, add the potato flakes and stir until smooth. Pour the potatoes into a large bowl and refrigerate.
When ready to make the lefse, take out 2 cups of potatoes at a time and add 1 to 1 1/2 cups of flour and stir until it becomes a workable dough. Flour a counter surface and roll the dough out as thin as possible. Cut individual slices with the a round cookie cutter, or the top of a medium sized glass.
Add about 1 tsp oil to a skillet pan and cook the lefse for about 3-5 minutes, or when brown blisters start to form on the top. Flip and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
Continue to cook the individual slices until the potato dough is gone. You may be able to cook several lefse at a time if you have a large enough skillet, if not cook one at a time. Any leftover cooked lefse may be refrigerate and used for about 3-5 more days.

 

For those who might wonder what a "lefse" is, it is a norwegian flat bread, like a tortilla, only made from potatoes...it is a popular breakfast treat and coffee break treat.  Just spread with butter, jam, or sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, roll up, and eat.  They go fast, though!  Lutefisk takes some getting used to....but everybody likes lefse the first time they try it.  Noboy I know cuts them with a little cutter, either, just cook them like tortillas, nice and large....and try to stay ahead of the kitchen loafers waiting to gobble them up.
