Lefse

The Johnson family grew up with Lefse as a special holiday treat made by Grandma Johnson.  It is a Norweigian flatbread made with potatoes, flour and cream.  We always spread butter and sugar on it. Liz made a trip to Aunt Barb and Uncle Duane's a couple of years ago to learn how to make it and they gave her and Brandon lefse making tools as a wedding gift.  So we decided to give it a whirl...
In short, here is the process...
Step#1: Boil Potatoes
 
Step #2: Potato Mash
Step #3: Roll dough balls and chill
Step #4: flattened dough until you can see through
 Step#5: Lefse Stick Master
 Step #6: Griddle
Step #7: Serve rolled up with butter and sugar
