This tasty creamed peas and potato recipe came about after a local farmer suggested to me how to cook his new potatoes and peas!
Ingredients
- 1 pound baby red potatoes, quartered
- 1 cup shelled English peas
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Place potatoes in a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 to 20 minutes. Drain.
Step 2
Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil; add peas and simmer until just tender, about 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and set peas aside.
Step 3
Add butter to the same saucepan; melt 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. Add potatoes and peas; simmer, stirring often, until potatoes are heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
Tips
One pound of fresh peas in pods is equivalent to about 1 cup of shelled peas.
