Creamed Peas and New Potatoes Recipe

Recipe by: Berta Rowland

"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."

Directions

1Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Boil potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain.
2In 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.
3Using 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.

Footnotes

Editor's Note:
One pound fresh peas in pods is equivalent to about 1 cup shelled peas.
Tip
Aluminum foil helps keep food moist, ensures it cooks evenly, keeps leftovers fresh, and makes clean-up easy.
