- 1/2 c Heavy Cream
- 8 Tbls Butter; Or Oleo

Rice POTATOES while hot. Add CREAM, melted BUTTER, SALT, and SUGAR. Cool to
room temperature. Refrig overnight Add 1 C.* Flour to 1/2 the Potato
mixture Knead together well.
After rolling/baking 1st half, Do the same to the saved 2nd half Add 1* Cup
of the FLOUR to it Use remaining* FLOUR for rolling lefse. Don't use too
much FLOUR for rolling. Roll mixture into thin pieces Bake on Lefse Grill
**I think the "sugar" in the recipe is what makes it successful. I seems to
be the one ingredient that isn't found in a hundred other similar lefse
recipes. It rolls like a dream... As you know it isn't easy to roll up
"mashed potatoes" without having them fall apart!
