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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Waxy potatoes like Yukon Golds or Red Potatoes hold their shape better than starchy potatoes like Russets, making them ideal for dishes like potato salad or roasted potatoes.
  • Soak your peas: Soaking dried peas overnight or for at least 4 hours before cooking helps them cook more evenly and reduces cooking time.
  • Don't overcook your peas: Peas should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooking can make them mushy.
  • Add flavor with herbs and spices: Fresh herbs like mint, parsley, or dill add a pop of flavor to potato and pea dishes. Spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika can also be used to enhance the taste.
  • Serve potatoes and peas as a side dish or main course: These versatile ingredients can be served as a side dish to grilled meats, fish, or poultry, or they can be the star of a vegetarian main course.

Conclusion:

From classic potato salads to hearty pea soups, the combination of potatoes and peas is a delicious and versatile one.
