Instructions

  1. 1 Pour milk into a large pot, then stir in salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent milk from scorching on the bottom of the pot.
  2. 2 When milk begins to boil (small bubbles will first appear at the edges), turn off the heat. Stir in lemon juice. Milk will curdle; you may need to wait 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Line a sieve or colander with a cheesecloth. Pour milk through the cloth to catch the curds. Gather cheesecloth around the cheese and squeeze out as much liquid (whey) as you can. What is left in the cheesecloth is farmer's cheese. Use the whey for another use (some people drink it), or discard. Wrap cheese in plastic or place in an airtight container.

  2. 2 Use your hands to shape the potato mixture into four even logs about 6 inches long. Cut each log into 4 or 5 pieces. Using just enough flour to keep the dough from sticking, roll out each portion as thinly as possible. Flip the dough over frequently and add more flour as needed. Adding too much flour can make the lefse tough so be careful.
  3. 3 Heat a lefse grill or griddle over medium heat. Cook one at a time until the lefse are golden brown with darker brown bubbles on each side, flipping over once. Use a flat lefse turner if you have one. Stack finished lefse on a plate or tray and cover with a tea towel to keep them from drying out. Once the lefse are completely cool, wrap in plastic to keep it moist.
