Hi Dorothy,

Lefse Recipe

3 c. twice riced potatoes (boiled russets)
3 Tb. melted shortening
3 Tb. melted magarine
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar

Mix well. form into a loaf and set aside on cookie sheet to cool.(overnight 
in refrigerator is fine)

Add:

1 c. flour

Mix well. Make into patties of1/2 c. each. Pat with hands until it doesn't 
crack at edges (knead) Roll out on pastry cloth with corrugated rolling pin 
into a 12"-14" circle. Bake on a 500 degree dry griddle. There should be 
some definite brown spots. Remove lefse and set under towel to hold in some
moisture.

It is critical to use a lefse stick to lift the lefse onto and off the griddle. 
You can make a lefse stick by sanding the edges off of about 18" of a wooden
yardstick - like a giant table knife. You simply slide the stick under the 
lefse to move it.
-------------------------------
Potato Lefse (soft lefse)

4 cups mashed potatoes
2 tlb butter or margarine 
1/4 cup milk 
1 tsp. salt 
About 3 cups all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil

Add butter milk, salt to potatoes. Mix well. Cool. Add enough flour to form 
a non.sticky dough. Add flour gradually, the less the better. Divide into 
24 pieces. Roll each piece out, using flour to keep from sticking. Heat a 
griddle or frying pan over medium heat. 
Lightly grease with salad oil. Place on grill. Lefse will 'bubble', turn 
over. (Approx. 2 min). Variation: Substitute some of wheat flour with rye 
flour.
