We like to serve these in the morning with a cup of coffee or tea. You can sub out the butter and use a fresh jam if you are on some weird health kick where you can't have anything good.
Let's Get Started…
The Ingredients To Gather:
- 1 batch = 24 lefse
- ADD to: 3 cups boiling water:
- 1 ½ teas. salt
- ¾ cup margarine or butter
- 2 1/3 cup canned evaporated milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- Heat all until real hot. Now ADD:
- 4 cups Idahoen instant potatoes (you can use any brand)
- (2 lbs 4 oz makes 6 batches)
- Mix like for eating. Chill. Then ADD:
- 1 ½ to 2 cups flour when ready to roll. (Mix with hands until flour is absorbed)
Instructions To Follow:
- Form lefse dough into golf ball sized (or larger) portions.
- ROLL out flat with Lefse rolling pin using flour as needed (so it won’t stick) turning often with lefse turner until thin.
- Use lefse turner to lift from pastry board to griddle.
- Bake on Lefse griddle at 410-435 degrees until golden brown bubbles appear.
- Flip with lefse turner and brown other side.
- Stack lefse on towel and cover with another towel until baking is finished to prevent drying out.
- Once cooled, lefse freezes well.
Finished!

I am from the midwest and have NEVER heard of these. What is a lefse? Hell I don’t even know how to pronounce that word!
Whatever it is it needs garlic
This lefsa looks a bit thick. I had it very thin like a crepe. lef-sa
It’s a Norwegian treat. I never remember my mother or grandma using garlic ever.
Grew up on grandma’s lease! And this is certainly waaaay too thick! Whoever made this one must not know how to make it. Yummy yummy!
Not everyone!
