10 T.butter
3 T. sugar
2 T. salt - I don't think anyone would know if you didn't do this.
Directions:
Directions:
Mix all above and store in the fridge for at least 24 hours to cool entirely. Put a paper towel on top to absorb moisture.

Take 3-1/2 C. potatoes and add 1 C. flour. Mix with hands until integrated. Take a meatball sized, or so, and roll it out like a pie crust on a well floured, covered board and rolling pin. Add flour as needed. Roll thin. If lefsa tears, roll towards, tear until it meets.

Put the rest of the dough in the fridge.

Cook at 500 degrees on a griddle.

Use "stick" turn on griddle. Wipe with paper towel to eliminate burnt flour.

After you take lefsa off griddle, place between something that will keep moisture in (I used towels and plastic bags in tandum to create a moist environment),

Personal Notes:
Grandpa Ottoson loved this. That's why I learned it but I love it as well. I don't usually eat it like they do traditionally with butter, sugar and cinnamon but use it like a tortilla. It is potatoes afterall so more of a meal.
