Lefse Norwegian Potato Flatbread

"Flatbreads beckon creativity like a blank canvas, begging to be filled with a colorful collage of whatever tastes one happens to be craving in the moment. In addition to the ready-to-“paint” flatbreads inspired by cuisines from around the world that we already offer in our stores—tortillas, lavash, pita, naan, focaccia—we’re adding something new from Scandinavia. Trader Joe’s Lefse Norwegian Potato Flatbread provides another familiar, yet still unique, way to enfold and enjoy all your favorite flavors.

Our Norwegian supplier makes this Lefse [LEF-suh] according to a traditional recipe that’s mostly Potato flakes (about 80%) and wheat flour, with a handful of other ingredients including milk powder, salt, and yeast. The dough is formed into rectangles that, when baked, are thin and supple and won’t crack when you bend or wrap them. Beyond texture, the potato flavor is super satisfying, yet still neutral enough to function as the base for almost anything else in our stores that suits your palate! So... what’s queued up on your palette?

Go savory with a spread of Whipped Cream Cheese and pieces of Norwegian Thick Cut Smoked Steelhead Trout, or Whipped Feta Spread and sliced Organic English Cucumber. Go sweet with some Organic Reduced Sugar Strawberry Preserves and Whipped Cream, or Cultured Salted Butter with a spoonful of Turbinado Raw Cane Sugar and sprinkle of Organic 100% Sicilian Lemon Juice. You’ll find Trader Joe’s Lefse Norwegian Potato Flatbread on our bakery shelves through July!"
