Kartöflulummur

Potato Lummur

Lummur are small, thick pancakes that are often found in everyday Icelandic cuisine. By the way, a small, thick pancake is a “lumma”.

This is a traditional Icelandic recipe from the “Use Leftovers” category.

So if you still have boiled potatoes left over, I can only recommend this Lummur recipe for a cozy Sunday breakfast - and thanks to the concentrated milk, these pancakes are wonderfully light, airy and taste just a little bit sour - really delicious!

Ingredients

250 g boiled potatoes

350 ml concentrated milk

125 g flour

1 egg

1 tsp baking powder

1 pinch of salt

1 tsp brown sugar

Margarine or oil for the pan

Preparation

Mash the cooked potatoes into a thick paste.

Add the curdled milk and stir in carefully.

Then add flour, egg, baking powder, salt and sugar and mix everything until you have a nice, smooth dough.

Heat some margarine or oil in a pan.

Pour the dough into the hot pan in portions using a tablespoon and fry on both sides. Add new fat to the pan every now and then so that nothing sticks.

We ate the Lummur with homemade berry jam for breakfast.

The berry jam is also a bit sour, which tastes wonderful with the slightly sour and not so sweet Lummur!
