Ingredients
5 lb. russet potatoes, peeled and cut into chunks
¼ cup butter, cut up
3 Tbsp. heavy cream
½ Tbsp. salt
½ Tbsp. white sugar
1¼ cups all-purpose flour
Directions
- Boil potatoes until tender. Run hot potatoes through a potato ricer. Place into a large bowl.
- Stir butter, cream, salt and sugar into the hot, riced potatoes. Let cool to room temperature.
- Stir flour into the potato mixture. Pull off pieces of the dough and form into walnut-size balls. Lightly flour a pastry cloth and roll out lefse balls to ⅛-inch thickness.
- Cook on a hot (400°F) griddle until bubbles form and each side has browned. Place on damp towel to cool slightly, and then cover with another damp towel to keep warm until serving.
