It would be impossible to start any compilation of Betty's recipes without this one leading the pack. Many cultures have created numerous ways to present the potato. Until you've tasted
lefsa (when it's done properly) you haven't lived. This recipe evokes memories of winter nights and Christmastimes past. Everyone ended up covered with flour from the elbows to the fingertips. The toughest part was minding our manners as the treats came off the griddle. When they're still hot, hit them with butter, sugar 'em, roll 'em and eat. They're good cold too on the next day, but I always enjoyed them best in a busy kitchen. Lefsa holds up well to microwave reheating. I recommend against using dry heat (oven/toaster-oven) for left-overs.
