About this dish
Lefse, dialectally also lefsa (among others), is a traditional soft Norwegian flatbread, also found regionally in Sweden (Swedish: läfsa, löfsa). It is made with riced potatoes, can include all purpose (wheat) flour, and includes butter, and milk, cream, or lard. It is cooked on a large, flat griddle. Special tools are used to prepare lefse, including a potato ricer, long wooden turning sticks and special rolling pins with deep grooves.
