Drain potatoes and let cool slightly.

Peel the potatoes and mash until smooth.

Mix in flour, butter, milk, salt, and sugar until a dough forms.

Divide dough into equal portions and shape into balls.

Roll each ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.

Preheat a griddle over medium heat.

Cook each lefse on the griddle for 1-2 minutes per side, until lightly browned.

Remove from heat and let cool on a wire rack.

Serve warm with butter, cinnamon, and sugar.
