Grandma’s Creamed Peas and Potatoes

Ingredients
  

  • 12 small new potatoes
  • - 1 cup peas fresh, frozen, or canned
  • - 1 tablespoon salted butter
  • - 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • - 1 cup heavy cream or half and half
  • - 1 teaspoon salt
  • - Black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Cut new potatoes in half (if needed). Boil in salted water until fork-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • In a second pot, boil peas in unsalted water for 3–5 minutes, then drain. (Skip if using canned.)
  • In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Slowly add cream, whisking continuously until smooth.
  • Add cooked potatoes and peas to the skillet and stir gently to combine.
  • Season with salt and pepper. Simmer 3–5 minutes until sauce thickens.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve hot.

Notes

Add bacon, ham, or herbs for extra flavor.
- Reheat leftovers with a splash of cream or milk.
