——– ———— ——————————–
2 lb Potatoes
1/4 c Butter
1/4 c Milk
1 1/2 ts Salt
1 t Sugar
1/4 ts MSG
1/8 ts Black pepper
2 1/2 c Sifted all-purpose flour

1. Wash, peel and cook the potatoes. Cut in halves and
boil. Drain the cooked potatoes. Dry the potatoes by
shaking the pan over low heat. Mash or rice the
potatoes thoroughly. 2. Whip into the potatoes the
butter and milk, and a mixture of the salt, sugar, MSG
and black pepper. 3. Whip the potatoes until light and
fluffy. Cool the potatoes and then chill in the
refrigerator. 4. Set a heavy skillet or griddle over
low heat to warm. Do not grease the skillet or
griddle. 5. Remove the chilled potatoes from the
refrigerator. Add about half of the flour and beat
until smooth. Beat in enough of the remaining flour to
make a smooth dough, shape into a ball and turn out
onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into a round
about 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 6 inch “rounds. 6. Test
the griddle by dropping on it a few drops of cold
water. If the drops dance around in little beads,
temperature is about right. Do not grease. 7. Place a
lefse ”round" on the griddle or skillet and cook until
browned. Turn and lightly brown on the other side.
Then, turning frequently, continue cooking until the
Lefse are lightly browned and dry. Remove and place on
a clean, dry towel. Cool completely. 8. To serve …
dust with powdered sugar, roll and enjoy.
