Lefse Recipe Norwegian - Bethany Grill - DIY Rolling Pin | Gingerbread Cottage
Lefse is best described as a traditional Norwegian crepe. This complete video takes you through the entire method of making lefse. It begins with ricing the potatoes and making the dough, followed by a demonstration of how to dress your rolling pin with cloth. Then Vanessa shows you how to make the lefse on a specialized lefse pan that heats up beyond 500 degrees. The recipe calls for potatoes, salt, whipping cream, butter, and flour. For sweet lefse, simply eat it with a little butter and sugar. One idea for a savory lefse would be to put some herbed cream cheese on it and roll it up. With the right equipment anyone could make this dish. It makes a wonderful addition to your holiday menu. Vanessa von Schellwitz makes lefse every Christmas. She is the owner operator of our Gingerbread Cottage bed and breakfast. Come stay with us.

Lefse Recipe | How To Make Potato Lefse From Scratch
I am excited to show you how to make a homemade potato lefse from scratch. There many lefse recipes to show you but I decided to make the potato lefse for several reasons. One big reason is because potato lefse is very common to eat in Norway. Another reason is I love any recipe that includes potatoes. As well potatoes is just a very important ingredient in the Scandinavian culture. Hope you enjoy this traditional Norwegian flatbread recipe.
Potato Lefse Recipe:
1 pound of russet potatoes
5 ounces of flour
4 tablespoons of butter
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of sugar
1/4 cup of heavy cream
Potato Lefse Instruction:
Cook sliced potatoes for 15 minutes.
Mash the potatoes.
Add the cream. Continue mashing the potatoes.
Add the butter. Continue mashing the potatoes.
Add the sugar and the salt. Continue mashing the potatoes.
Let the potatoes cool down before the next step.
Add flour to cooled potato mixture.
If you refrigerate overnight, break up the potatoes into small crumbles before adding the remaining ingredients.
Knead the dough about 10–15 times.
The dough should come together into a smooth dough.
Gently knead the dough with your hands.
Roll dough into a ball.
Gently flatten with no cracks.
To prep the board add about 1/4 cup of flour in the center.
The corrugated pin helps the dough get nice and thin with no air pockets.
Start rolling lefse from the middle and work out.
Between each sheet you will need to flour your pastry board.
Using the lefse stick slide under the lefse sheet and lift
gently from the board.
Heat an ungreased lefse grill at 400 F degrees.
Lefse is ready to flip when the sheet bubbles up. The second side will cook faster than the first side.
Cover lefse with a towel and set aside to cool.
To avoid lefse drying out seal it in a package and store in refrigerator.
Serve with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, or your favorite jam.
