Some kind of lefse (but not containing any potatoes) was is mentioned around
1600 (maybe earlier), according to Frederik Grøn: Kostholdet i Norge efter
år 1500 (not sure of the actual title, don´t have the book at hand). There
was a lefse discussion last summer and I see I posted the following then:
"... but lefse derives from hleifr
(loaf) and similar soft flatbread, wrapped around butter, is known from
medieval times."
