Steps:
- 1. Shell the peas, scrub the potatoes
- 2. Boil the potatoes to almost done (soft). Remove from water with a slotted spoon. Add peas to the boiling water. Cook 3-5 minutes....only until slightly soft. You still want a little crunch on them. Remove with a slotted spoon to the potatoes.
- 3. Drain the water from the pan. Add the butter to melt. Add the flour to the melted butter and stir to make a roux. Add milk to make a gravy. Add salt and pepper to taste. This needs to be thin enough to coat the peas and potatoes.

EASY NEW PEAS AND POTATOES
This is in response to a recipe request. This is a pretty basic recipe for New Peas and Potatoes. My great grandma had the best recipes, and this was one of them. We usually have this whenever we have a ham dinner. It is funny how you can have a recipe but it doesnt even come close to grandmas! LOL This is still a very good and cheap recipe. I love a lot more "gravy" with my potatoes and peas.

NEW POTATOES IN WHITE SAUCE WITH PEAS RECIPE - (4.7/5)
Provided by msippigrl
Number Of Ingredients 7
Steps:
- Cover potatoes with water then add 1 tsp. salt and bring to a boil over medium/medium-high heat; cook until just tender. (Do not overcook or they will fall apart in the sauce.) Drain some of the water off, if needed, so that the potatoes are only about half covered. Stir 1 1/4 cups of the milk into the potatoes and bring back up to a boil. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup milk and the flour until completely smooth. Once potatoes are boiling again, pouring in a thin stream while stirring rapidly, add the flour mixture to the potatoes and cook until thickened on medium/medium-low heat, stirring frequently. If sauce is not thick as preferred, it can be adjusted by whisking together a little more milk and flour and stirring it into the potatoes and sauce. When thickened, season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Add butter and cover the pot until it melts. Stir in the cooked peas and serve with fried pork chops and fresh, hot cornbread!

- Boil or steam the peas and potatoes separately: This will ensure that both vegetables are cooked evenly.
- Drain the peas and potatoes well before adding them to the salad: This will prevent the salad from becoming watery.
- Use a variety of fresh herbs in the salad: This will add flavor and complexity to the dish.
- Dress the salad with a simple vinaigrette: A vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, and Dijon mustard is a classic choice for this salad.
