"ATW80DS": "Tuesday's with Dorie" - Potato Lefse

Today, we started the morning out with some yummy POTATO LEFSE. And being that it is April 1st, This is also our Kickoff to our Spring Time  "Around the World in 80 Days" Challenge Details. You can find details by clicking the link above.


This humble Norwegian flatbread, used traditionally as a holiday treat, is made from mashed potatoes and flour and if rolled out thin, is more like a crêpe than a flour tortilla. Most often it is served with melted butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar, and then roll it up. We tried this way and they were very tasty. But we liked them better with homemade strawberry jam and whipped cream. They  make a great after school snack if you spread them with peanut butter and jelly or cream cheese and Nutella. My boys considered the more savory suggestion of layering in a few slices of deli meats and cheeses, then adding a drizzle of ranch dressing. Maybe even using it as a shell for a chicken salad wrap.

  2. We went the sandwich wrap route with these. I'll have to try the sweet version with the leftovers. Your lefse looks wonderful.
