Instant Potato Lefse-no Milk/cream

Total Time: 1 hr 20 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 1 hr

Ingredients

• 8 cups instant mashed potatoes (potato buds)
• 3/4 cup butter flavor crisco (12 tbsp)
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups flour

Recipe

• 1 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).
• 2 mix in crisco, sugar, and salt while potatoes are hot so crisco will melt.
• 3 cool very well! i usually cool overnight in the fridge and place some saran wrap directly on potatoes to avoid a 'skin'.
• 4 pull from fridge and bring to room temperature. mix in 2 cups of flour.
• 5 let dough rest 10 minutes.
• 6 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.
• 7 spread butter, sprinkle with sugar, roll and enjoy! (i was told by a friend in norway they spread with jelly too!).
