How to make lefse:

This recipe is a combination of an old one from my aunt and one from the Decorah, Iowa Nordic Fest, held the last weekend in July. It includes a Lutefisk eating contest.

After ricing potatoes, add margarine and cream while still warm. Add sugar, flour and salt; mix and knead well. Using a small amount at a time, roll thin on a floured board, making last roll with lefse pin. Transfer to hot griddle with a thin spatula. Turn once. Spread with butter and sprinkle with sugar.
