Lefse is anything baked that is sort of flat, not just the Minnesota potato lefse. Actually we don't even call that one lefse here, we call it "lompe".
Lefse can be up to a half-inch thick. You can bake them with wheat flour instead of potatoes.
We had a visitor from Fargo, who freaked out when she saw the word "lefse" used on all these other products, and saw "lompe" on what she considered to be lefse.
HAHA! That's funny. Actually we kinda knew that (didn't we Hannah?) because we have a lefse cookbook and it's not all potatoes. However they don't call the potato stuff "lompe" in it, either. They just call it "potato lefse".
The half an inch thick sounds like my lefse...only I guess the more accurate term would be "half an inch thick, more or less, and with lumps included". :-| I guess I wasn't meant to be a lefse/lompe/whatever maker. I have a distinct memory of flinging a piece across my brother's kitchen in an effort to simply turn the darn thing over. :-| Hannah, however, is quite good at it.

She was in quite a tizzy...
