Ingredients
•
10 pounds potatoes, peeled
•
1/2 cup butter
•
1/3 cup heavy cream
•
1 tablespoon salt
•
1 tablespoon white sugar
•
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Directions
1
Gather all ingredients.
2
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes; drain.
3
Run hot potatoes through a potato ricer into a large bowl. Beat butter, cream, salt, and sugar into riced potatoes. Let cool to room temperature.
4
Stir flour into potato mixture to form a soft dough. Pull off pieces of dough and form into walnut-sized balls.
5
Lightly flour a clean cloth and roll out lefse balls to 1/8-inch thick.
6
Heat a griddle over high heat.
7
Cook lefse on the hot griddle until brown blisters form, about 1 minute per side. Place cooked lefse on a damp towel to cool slightly. Repeat with remaining dough, stacking them on top of each other as they're cooked; cover until ready to serve.
