Creamy Potatoes & Peas

By kimvess

Ingredients

• 6-8 new red potatoes, cubed
• 3-4 Tbsp. butter
• 1/4 c. flour
• 1 c. milk (or to taste)
• salt & pepper (to taste)
• 1 c. peas (fresh or frozen)

Preparation

Step 1

Boil potatoes in salted water until just done/fork tender, appx. 10-15 minutes depending on the size of your potato cubes (you don't want them overdone or they will get mushy real quick).

Drain and set aside.

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

Slowly add flour, stirring, until flour/butter mixture becomes doughy (you may not need all the flour).

SLOWLY add milk, whisking constantly until mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You want it to be a gravy consistency so add more milk if it seems too thick. Add salt and pepper, to taste.

Add peas and bring to a slight simmer.

Carefully fold creamy mixture into potatoes until potatoes become well covered and serve!
