Lefse Making

We have a traditional Norwegian meal for Christmas called lefse. We take mashed potatoes and flour, form a ball and then roll them out flat like a tortillia and then brown them on a griddle. On Christmas Eve we put more mashed potatoes on top with either roast or fish and pour browned butter on it. They are yummy and VERY filling! The guys in the family have contests on how many they can eat.

My mom, her brother Chuck, his daughter Jennifer and I got together at Jennifer's house to make lefse last Saturday. Mom and Uncle Chuck had made lefse a time or two, but it was a first for Jennifer and me!! Grandma Beth made it out to give a little advice!! :) Chris, Laura and girls were able to make it a little later too. It was lots of fun and hope to make it a new tradition.
