Lefse is a type of flatbread, made from leftover mashed potatoes with added flour. This mixture is then rolled flat and cooked in a pan on the hob. The result is a thin and soft flatbread that’s more substantial than a crêpe but more delicate and chewier than a flour tortilla. Serve hot with butter and sugar.
