Categories     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

6-8 red potatoes (cut into 1" cubes)
3-4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
2 cups milk (or to taste)
salt and pepper (to taste)
1-2 cups peas (fresh or frozen)

Steps:

  • Boil potatoes in salted water until just done/fork tender, approximately 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 stir potatoes into creamy mixture until potatoes become well covered and serve!

EASY NEW PEAS AND POTATOES



Easy New Peas and Potatoes image

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.

Categories     Potato

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk (more or less depending on how thick you want it)
2 -3 lbs new potatoes, boiled, peeled and cut up, if needed
1 cup peas, cooked
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a pan, and then add flour and mix and let cook for a minute.
  • Add in milk next to make a white sauce, this sauce isnt meant to be really thick, but some people prefer it thicker.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Then pour sauce over potatoes and warm the potatoes.
  • Once heated through, throw peas in and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Small, waxy potatoes like new potatoes or fingerling potatoes are best for this dish, as they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Cook the potatoes in salted water: This will help to flavor the potatoes and prevent them from becoming bland.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender but still hold their shape.
  • Use fresh peas: Frozen peas can be used in a pinch, but fresh peas have a much better flavor and texture.
  • Cook the peas briefly: Overcooking will turn them mushy.
  • Use a light hand with the butter and cream: You don't want the dish to be too heavy or greasy.
  • Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.

Conclusion:

New potatoes and peas is a classic summer dish that is both simple to make and delicious to eat. The fresh, bright flavors of the peas and potatoes are perfectly complemented by the creamy sauce and crispy bacon. This dish is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
