North Dakota's highly populated with Norwegians, so it's quite traditional here.
Lefse is the Norwegian dish. It's so traditional, that people automatically think "lefse" when they hear the word, "Norway" or "Norwegian"
Or at least they do here. Harr. ;]
It's pronounced: "Leff-suh"
Lefse
QUOTE
5 large potatoes
1/2 cup sweet cream
Flour (1/2 cup per cup mashed potatoes)
3 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
Boil and mash the potatoes. Add cream, butter, and salt. Beat until light; then cool. Add flour, roll into ball, and knead until smooth. Cut into pieces about the size-of an egg. Roll round (like pie crust), and very thin. Bake on large griddle to light tan. Use moderate heat, do not scorch! Do not grease griddle. When baked, place betweenwaxed paper to prevent drying. Cut lefse into halves or quarters to serve. Serve with butter, cinnamon, and sugar. It can also be served with honey.

It's pretty good.
I suggest cinnamon and butter.
