Making Potato Lefse with SFO, April 15, 2009

Potato Lefse is a traditional Norwegian Food made of cooked potatoes, a little bit of flour and some salt. They look like fajitas tortillas, but taste a little different. Way back when, corn wasn't readily available all over Norway, so potatoes were used. From the left: Barbara, Sigrid, Jonas, Marcus mashing the cooked (and peeled) potatoes. Today people make sweet lefse with flour.

Time for rolling out the dough. We divided the dough into smaller pieces and the rolling began.

It lasted for a while, but making 50 of them took a while and I helped finish the project.

Sigrid at work!

We used the potato lefse for hot dog buns. You can also make a coffee treat or dessert of it by adding butter, sugar and cinnamon or put Norwegian brown cheese in it. 

Here is the 'gang' in the lavvo grilling hot dogs.

After a good meal, time for work! We made bows and arrows and shot at targets. A fun day outside in the snow.
