The Norwegians have their own version of potato pancakes, which are not dissimilar from Irish potato cakes. Lompe are eaten with spread butter and Geitost cheese. Sometimes these little pancakes are used to wrap around meat or spoonfuls of berry conserve.

Ingredients

  • 2 lb (900 g) potatoes
  • A little salt

Method

Lompe must be cooked on a griddle or in a heavy frying pan. Peel the potatoes, cut up into pieces and boil in salted water. Drain and allow to become very dry before putting through a sieve. Mix with the flour and knead to a dough (you may need a little less or more flour depending on the potatoes – try and use less).

Roll the dough into a long sausage and cut into 10–12 inch lengths. O
