Once it's cooled you put butter on it, sprinkle with sugar or brown sugar and roll up and eat. Some like to eat with Lutifisk - it's very popular in our area as many of our scandanavian ansestors settled in this area. The lutheran churches around this area have Lutifisk suppers. If you google it you will probably get a better description. They sell it for $15-18 per dozen. I make it and donate it - if I sold it - it would seem to much like work and no longer fun to make. It's very tedious and time consuming to make.
Thank goodness I have an aversion to my kitchen.. that sounds like way too much time but they do sound nice enough to eat when done. But peeling all those potatoes... heck, I could sew a dolls quilt in the same time as it takes me to peel that many spuds !
