Norwegians have been credited with many things, but the best just may have been the sharing of their lefse recipe!
Lefse is a traditional Scandinavian flatbread made from potatoes. The potatoes are mashed and mixed with flour, cream, salt and a little oil. It is then rolled very thin and fried on a hot iron griddle.
Traditionally, lefse is served with lutefisk (a whole ‘nother story!) or with any holiday meal.
The Lutheran Church is historically the predominant religion in northern Germany and the Scandinavian countries. As Scandinavians and Germans settled the American West, they brought their religion (and their food) to Montana, the Dakotas and other parts of the West. The ethnic tradition of lefse can still be found today in small rural towns all across the heartland. Give this unique treat a try; you might find a new favorite!
