Potato Lefse time
How do you like your lefsa?
I like meatballs rolled in mine.
Lefse Recipe
7 cups water
1 12-ounce can evaporated milk
2 sticks margarine or butter (1/2 pound)
5 tablespoons sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons salt
Heat and stir this to a boil. Remove mixture from heat and stir in:
5 cups potato pearls or buds
1 tablespoon baking powder (mixed into potato pearls)
Put in bowl and cover with plastic wrap (right down on the
potatoes). Refrigerate for at least 8 hours.
Divide dough in half. Add 2 cups of flour to each half. This should
be kneaded into the mixture with 2 table knives (like pie crust). Let
dough rest for 10 minutes. Form into golf ball-sized portions. Keep
them cold until they are rolled out. Roll out on floured lefse board
and bake on lefse grill. Put baked rounds in lefse cozy.
Potato Lefse
2-2/3 cups water
2/3 cup milk
6 tablespoons margarine
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
2-2/3 cups Potato Buds
2 cups flour
Heat first five ingredients to boiling. Add the Potato Buds and mix
until moistened. Let stand a couple of minutes and then mix until
smooth. Cover and chill overnight. Add flour. Dough will be soft. Form
into small balls. Work a little more flour into each ball as you roll.
Cook on lefse griddle until browned on both sides.
