Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cream
  • 1/3 cup shortening
  • 4 cups riced potaoes, cold
  • 2 to 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • Salt, to taste (1/2 to 1 teaspoon)
  • Softened butter, for serving
  • Sugar, for serving

Directions

Heat cream and shortening until shortening is melted. Cool and then add to riced potatoes. Sift flour, sugar and salt and add to potato mixture. Take a piece of dough as for pie crust (I use a piece a little smaller than a tennis ball), Roll the dough in a circle on a floured cloth rolling as thin as possible.

Using a lefsa turner (a long thin stick) to lift the rolled lefsa dough, bake on top of a lefsa or pancake griddle that is pre-heated to 425 degrees F. Bake until light brown on both sides. Serve warm or cooled spread with butter and sugar and rolled up.

Cut into one-fourths, for serving.

    Best stuff ever as a kid growing up in S. Dak. my Gramma made it every Thanksgiving and we had it all the way thru X-Mas. We put butter and thin sliced ham or roastbeef or even peanut butter for breakfast. Once you fix it you will be fixed for life.
