My mom and grandparents moved to the USA from Norway in 1920. I was brought up with both Handanger Lefse and potato lefse. Do your research people! There are several types of lefse and since potatoes were only introduced to the Scandinavian countries in the 18th century, potato lefse IS NOT THE ORIGINAL! Surprise! .....my family loved their coffee and sweets and LOVED to dunk in their coffee. Hardanger lefse is great for dunking so it was always the first thing to go of our Christmas sweets.
