description Lefse Overview
Lefse is a traditional soft Norwegian flatbread, with many regional forms rather than one fixed recipe. Potato lefse uses riced or mashed potatoes with flour and a fat such as butter, plus milk or cream in some versions; other varieties are based mainly on wheat or other grains. The dough is rolled thin and cooked on a dry griddle, and the bread may be served with butter and sugar, cinnamon, meat, fish, or cheese. [Source](https://norskfolkemuseum.no/en/baking-lefse)
