Lefse Rolling Machine Is First Of Its Kind
"So far as I know, it's the first and only mechanical lefse rolling machine in the world," says Evan Granrud, Opheim, Mont., inventor. "Some lefse factories use pressing machines.

Lefse rolling machine is first of its kind FARM HOME Food 10-1-31 "So far as I know, it's the first and only mechanical lefse rolling machine in the world," says Evan Granrud, Opheim, Mont., inventor. "Some lefse factories use pressing machines. But this machine rolls rather than presses the dough into 14 in. dia. rounds, resulting in uniform quality from one batch to the next."
Ever since he developed the machine, lefse lovers from all corners of the world have literally beaten a path to the Lefse Shack, a converted garage in which Granrud, his wife Muriel, and several employees make homemade-style potato lefse that tastes even better than your grandmother used to make."
Thanks to the rolling machine which Evan developed, the factory, with only four employees, is able to turn out 1,500 rounds of lefse per eight hour shift. The factory operates seasonally, usually running from October to Christmas, and then again for about a month before Easter. The Lefse Shack has retail outlets in Glasgow, Scobey and Plentywood, and mail orders lefse all over the world. A 3-lb. package, containing 16 14-in. dia. rounds of lefse, retails for $12.50, including shipping.
