Creamed Peas and New Potatoes
“Just a recipe a local farmer suggested to me to use with his potatoes and peas. I slightly modified it and it’s very tasty.”
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby red potatoes, quartered
- 1 cup shelled English peas
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup milk
Directions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Boil potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
- In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Simmer peas in boiling water for 6 to 7 minutes, or until tender (do NOT overcook). Drain.
- Using the same saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a thick paste; gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Now add potatoes and peas to the sauce; simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Serve immediately.
