I found this interesting soft, flat, potato type bread on a web site for while gathering recipes for the Zaar World Tour II- I am guessing at the cooking time and number of servings.

NORWEGIAN POTATO FLATBREAD (LEFSE)



Norwegian Potato Flatbread (Lefse) image

This is my take on Norwegian flatbread. Without really knowing what I was doing, these came out delightfully tender, supple, almost fabric-like in texture, and tasting deliciously like something between a crepe and a potato pancake. They're traditionally served with butter and a sprinkle of sugar, but I also enjoy them with some smoked salmon, sour cream, and fresh dill. My other favorite topping combo is butter and some kind of berry jam and sour cream.

Time 4h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large russet potato
1 ½ tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1 teaspoon white sugar
¼ cup heavy cream
1 cup all-purpose flour, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line an oven-safe skillet or baking pan with aluminum foil.
  • Poke the potato skin all over with a knife and place on the prepared pan.
  • Roast in the preheated oven until very tender and easily pierced with a knife, about 1 hour. Let sit until cool enough to handle but still very warm.
  • Scoop potato flesh out into a bowl. Mash smooth with the back of a spatula until there are no lumps left. You can also use a potato ricer. Add the butter and mix until it disappears. Add the salt, sugar, and cream; mix until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, about 2 hours.
  • Mix in flour in several additions until the dough is able to be kneaded by hand. Add enough flour to form a soft, but not too sticky, dough. You need to be able to roll it out fairly thin without it falling apart.
  • Wrap dough with plastic and refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
  • Divide dough into 8 portions. Dust each with flour and roll out onto a well-floured kitchen towel to 1/8-inch thick, or thinner.
  • Heat a very lightly buttered nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Cook the lefse in the hot pan, poking the surface lightly with a fork, until golden brown blisters form, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Stack on a plate as they're cooked and keep covered with a towel. Serve warm.

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

18 baking potatoes, scrubbed
½ cup heavy whipping cream
½ cup butter
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
4 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Peel potatoes and place them in a large pot with a large amount of water. Bring water to a boil, and let the potatoes boil until soft. Drain and mash well.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 cups mashed potatoes, cream, butter, salt, and sugar. Cover potatoes and refrigerate over night.
  • Mix flour into the mashed potatoes and roll the mixture into balls about the size of tennis balls, or smaller depending on preference. Keep balls of dough on plate in the refrigerator.
  • Taking one ball out of the refrigerator at a time, roll dough balls out on a floured board. To keep the dough from sticking while rolling it out, it helps to have a rolling pin with a cotton rolling pin covers.
  • Fry the lefsa in a grill or in an iron skillet at very high heat. If lefsa brown too much, turn the heat down. After cooking each piece of lefsa place on a dishtowel. Fold towel over lefsa to keep warm. Stack lefsa on top of each other and keep covered to keep from drying out.

NORWEGIAN LEFSE FRIED POTATO BREAD



Norwegian Lefse Fried Potato Bread image

The unusual dough for this Norwegian bread is rolled out into large, thin circles and fried on a hot griddle. The resulting bread, which is soft, is extremely versatile. It is eaten warm or cold, plain or spread with butter or sprinkled with brown sugar. To serve Lefse, fold each circle into quarters or roll up.

Time 22m

Yield 20 lefse

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 cups hot mashed potatoes (no milk, margarine or salt added)
1/4 cup shortening
2 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 cups all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Beat mashed potatoes, shortening, milk and salt until no lumps remain. Cover and refrigerate until completely chilled, at least 4 hours.
  • Turn potato mixture onto floured surface; knead in flour. (Dough will be soft). Divide into 20 equal parts; shape each part into a ball. (for best results, work with 4 or 5 balls at a time; cover and refrigerate remaining balls until needed.).
  • Shape each ball into a flattened round on heavily floured board. Roll each round as thin as possible into 10 to 12 inch circle with floured stockinet covered rolling pin or lefse rolling pin. Lift dough occasionally with spatula to make sure it is not sticking, adding flour as needed.
  • Heat un-greased griddle or lefse baker to 400°F cook until blisters form and brown spots appear on bottom, about 1 minutes on each side. (Do not overcook. Lefse should be soft, not crisp.) Stack cooked lefse between two towels to prevent drying. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate no longer than 3 days or freeze no longer than 1 month. Makes 20 lefse.
