About Lefse

Lefse is a traditional Norwegian flatbread made primarily from potatoes, flour, butter, and cream or milk. It is soft, thin, and slightly sweet, often served rolled up with butter, cinnamon, sugar, or savory fillings. Originating from Norway, lefse remains a staple in Scandinavian cuisine and is especially popular during holidays and celebrations. Nutritionally, lefse is low in fat and provides a source of carbohydrates due to its potato and flour base. However, it can be high in calories and sugar depending on the toppings used. Health-conscious variations may replace white flour with whole grains or limit sugary accompaniments. Lefse offers a unique way to enjoy a comforting dish steeped in tradition, while mindful ingredient choices can enhance its nutritional benefits.
