"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

2 c riced (or very well mashed) potatoes
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp shortening
1 1/2 c flour
Directions:
Directions:
When mixing dough use only 3/4 cup flour. Use the rest when rolling out lefse. Dough may be formed into a long roll and then cut into pieces large enough to make a lefse to fit the size of baking surface. Roll out dough very thin with die cut rolling pin. I have a griddle that reaches 500º which is optimal temp. but a hot stove plate will work as well. Bake on both sides to a light brown on top. Use a long stick to help in turning the lefse.
Any questions call Wendy :)
