My mom and grandparents moved to the USA from Norway in 1920. I was brought up with both Handanger Lefse and potato lefse. Do your research people! There are several types of lefse and since potatoes were only introduced to the Scandinavian countries in the 18th century, potato lefse IS NOT THE ORIGINAL! Surprise! …..my family loved their coffee and sweets and LOVED to dunk in their coffee. Hardanger lefse is great for dunking so it was always the first thing to go of our Christmas sweets. Thank you Ginny for posting this recipe
I have not made it, It should not be under Lefse. It is not any Norwegian recipe that I know of. I still make my mothers recipe. And she was full blood Norwegian.
Not trying this one, I need my potatoes.
This is a recipe for Hardanger lefse- which is incredibly delicious. My grandmother, from the Hardanger area of Norway, always made this for Christmas.
There’s more than one kind of Lefse (Lefsa in Norway). This is close to my recipe for Hardanger Lefsa my Norwegian Grandmother would serve for dessert with coffee around the holidays. Potato Lefse is a savory type of bread although I’ve had butter and sugar on it. Hardanger lefse is two or more layers with butter and powdered sugar and a little cinnamon.
The main ingrediant of lefse is potato! Also, lefse should be rolled almost paper thin and about the size of a dinner plate. I don’t know where this recipe came from, but it’s definately NOT lefse!
