    I’m seeing this a year later and a day after making 15 pounds worth of potatoes. I’ve never thought to spray the lefse with water while on the griddle but I’m assuming that might help with the edges drying? Going to definitely try that the next time. Lovely video. Thank you.

    • @HannahWestsea
      @HannahWestsea  Рік тому

      Yes, correct its so the edges wont dry. Before we had fancy spray bottles they used to take a wet towel on a stick and dripp the water over. The spray bottle does make it a bit easier😄 best of luck!

    I missed you adding butter & salt to potatoe before mashing or ricing. Also did you chill dough? We don't put sugar or cream in either.Seems like important steps no matter what region your ancestors are from. Also the cutting into triangles is new to me. Just as long as long as the traditions continue. ❤

    • @HannahWestsea
      @HannahWestsea  11 місяців тому

      In this receipt I only use potatoes and flour. And no I did not chill the dough. I found it's best to grind the potato's while they are still hot (be careful not to burn your hands😅) Then I mix the potato and flour. I cut them up mostly to mesure the size of each so they are similar. I know that how I mix it will equal about 8 lefse. Im sure there are many different ways of making these, but this is how my family has done for generations and i love them😄

      Hello. I haven't heard of this as an option 😅 I know some cook the potato's the day before and peel them the next day, but personally I find they are better when you peel and gride them while they are still hot. Best of luck!🥰

    Hi Hanna I was just thinking about you 🙂. How has winter been for you? Getting a lot of snow this year? There's no way I could ever make your recipe like you did with that stick, impressive. I bet it tastes good. I cooked in a Chinese restaurant for 16 years and don't think I could make it. It looks hard to make. Thanks for showing us how to make potato 🍞!

      Hello. My winter has been good thank you. Hope your's have too.😃Yes some snow not as much as I had hoped, but still good. Making lefse is an art, but with a bit of pacientes and a few fails I'm glad they turned out very good😄

  • @annzick569

    never tried making it with just potatoes and flour. Would like to but would need more information on amounts. Is that about 2 cups of flour??

    • @HannahWestsea
      @HannahWestsea  Рік тому +1

      I don't know the exact measurements, but i filled an ice cream box that was 2liters (about 8.5 cups if google is correct) of potatoes and then two scoops of flour. I took as much flour in my hands as i could. You will add even more flour along the way and will notice if it's not enough or too little. If you need more the dough will stick to much and if it's too much it will be difficult to make them thin. Hope this helps😅

    • @larslund54
      @larslund54 10 днів тому

      1:5 - flour/potatoes works well. In the video she use Almond potatoes, a Scandinavian type (shape of an almond) that gives a very good taste to lefse. Else use potatoes with a high dry matter content. Be careful when you handle the potato mash. Too much handling make the doug sticky and you then add flour..... Not a good result 😮.

    what machine are you using to rice the potatoes?

    • @HannahWestsea
      @HannahWestsea  Рік тому

      It's a meat grinder. I have seen some even pass the potato's through two times to get them even finer, but for me one time has been enough

    I wish I had your griddle, as I believe it is better than what is sold in the USA. Your griddle is not wired for the correct voltage for the USA. I wish to say to those that want to try but are unsure, just TRY to make it. You will get better each time you try.
