Instant Potato Lefse-No Milk/Cream
- 8 cups instant mashed potatoes (potato buds)
- 34 cup Butter Flavor Crisco (12 Tbsp)
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups flour
- Make the 6-7 serving size when making the potatoes.
- (*you may omit the margarine and salt called for on the box since it is added later).
- Mix in Crisco, sugar, and salt while potatoes are hot so Crisco will melt.
- Cool very well!
- I usually cool overnight in the fridge and place some saran wrap directly on potatoes to avoid a 'skin'.
- Pull from fridge and bring to room temperature.
- Mix in 2 cups of flour.
- Let dough rest 10 minutes.
- Roll and fry on lefse griddle.
- -I was taught to wear gloves so no excess moisture from hands went into the lefse and altered the texture.
- Spread butter, sprinkle with sugar, roll and enjoy!
- (I was told by a friend in Norway they spread with Jelly too!
- ).
