Boil the potatoes in their skins, peel, and mash until smooth.
Mix the butter, milk, and salt into the hot potatoes.
Cool the potato mixture for at least 1 hour.
Add the flour little by little to the cooled mixture and make a soft dough.
Divide the dough into 12 balls and roll each into a thin round.
Cook the lefse in a dry pan for 1.5 minutes per side, until speckled.
Spread with serving butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, and roll up.
💡 Tip: Cool the potato dough for at least 1 hour; warm dough needs too much flour and makes lefse tough.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve lefse with butter, cinnamon sugar, and tea if desired, for breakfast or an evening snack.
