AU GRATIN PEAS AND POTATOES
While this delicious potato skillet is a wonderful side dish, we find it satisfying enough to be a main course, too. The skillet preparation takes less time than it does to bake an au gratin casserole or scalloped potatoes-but it's still good old-fashioned comfort food at its best! -Marie Peterson, DeForest, Wisconsin

PEAS AU GRATIN
An incredibly easy potato dish that is tasty and filling as a main course or side dish. This is the simplest version I came up with to get the kids to eat it. But you can substitute a stronger cheese, add more veggies or meat to make it heartier.

Tips:
- Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: Fresh sweet peas are essential for this recipe. Look for bright green, plump peas. Frozen peas can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before cooking.
- Cook the Peas Properly: Overcooked peas become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them just until they are tender-crisp, about 3-5 minutes.
- Make a Flavorful Sauce: The sauce is what brings this dish together. Use a good quality white wine and a flavorful cheese, such as Parmesan or Gruyère. Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices to create a sauce that suits your taste.
- Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When you add the peas to the pan, don't overcrowd them. If the pan is too crowded, the peas will steam instead of sautéing. This will result in mushy peas.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The peas will start to wilt if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Au gratin sweet peas are a delicious and elegant side dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy sauce, tender-crisp peas, and cheesy topping, this dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
