  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 3 cups unbleached flour

  • ½ cup melted butter → plant butter, ghee (mostly lactose-free), or olive oil

Steps

  1. Mix mashed potatoes with melted butter.
  2. If preparing ahead, refrigerate mixture overnight, and take the potatoes out one hour before beginning the rest of the preparation.
  3. Mix sugar, salt, cream, and potato mixture in a large bowl. Gradually stir in flour.
  4. Using about 2 tablespoons (or a golf ball-sized chunk) of mix at a time, roll mix into flat, round shapes on a flat, smooth surface. Use flour to keep the mix from sticking to the surface and the rolling pin.
  5. Place the round lefse on the griddle, cook until browned on bottom. Flip and repeat.
  6. Add toppings, and serve hot!
