Norwegian Potato And Rye Pancake Flatbreads - Lefse - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    500 g boiled potatoes, mashed
    100 g rye flour
    1 teaspoon sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    fat (for cooking)
Preparation
    Put the mashed potatoes into a large bowl and add the flour, sugar and salt - mix well.
    Add some water - bit by bit, kneading well so it makes a pliable dough.
    Take little balls from the dough - the size of a small egg and roll them out thinly on a well floured surface.
    Heat up a flat griddle, hotplate or skillet and cook the Lefse with a little fat until the dough bubbles.
    Turn them over and cook the other side.
    When the Lefse have been cooked - they should be smooth and soft.
    Eat them as I have suggested in the Introduction!
    For Vegetarian make sure the Fat is from a Vegetable product such as vegetable oil not from an animal product such as lard.
