Creamed Peas and Potatoes β€” A Classic Comfort Dish

πŸ‘©β€πŸ³ Directions

1. Cook the Potatoes

Scrub baby potatoes (peel if you prefer) and cut any large ones in half.

Boil in salted water for 10–12 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Drain and set aside.

2. Cook the Peas

In another small saucepan, boil the peas for 2–3 minutes until tender but bright green.

Drain and set aside with the potatoes.

3. Make the Cream Sauce

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

Whisk in flour to form a smooth roux; cook for about 1 minute (don’t let it brown).

Gradually pour in milk, whisking constantly until smooth and thickened.

Stir in cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using).

4. Combine and Serve

Gently fold in the cooked potatoes and peas.

Simmer on low heat for 2–3 minutes to let everything warm through and the flavors blend.

Garnish with fresh parsley.

Serve hot and creamy! πŸ₯£

πŸ’‘ Tips & Variations

Make it Cheesy: Stir in Β½ cup shredded cheddar or Parmesan for a richer flavor.

Add Onions: SautΓ© diced onion in butter before adding flour for extra depth.

Lighter Version: Use half-and-half or whole milk instead of heavy cream.

Herb Upgrade: Try adding thyme or dill for a fresh twist.
