Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups fresh peas

Steps:

  • Heat enough oil to generously cover the bottom of a large, deep pan over medium-high heat. Fry the battered chicken until all sides are golden brown and the meat is cooked through.
  • Serve with Buttered Mashed Potatoes and Sauteed Peas and Tomatoes.
  • In a large pot, add the potatoes and pour just enough water to fully cover the potatoes. Heat the water over high heat, until the water comes to a rolling boil. Boil the potatoes in water until they are tender and then drain. Place the potatoes back on the heat and stir until the steam dissipates. Add butter, salt and pepper to the pot and then mash together until they reach the desired consistency.
  • In a large pan, saute the peas in butter over medium heat until they are tender or for approximately 7 minutes. Add diced tomatoes to the skillet and continue to saute until all of the flavors combine.

Everyone always tells me that they have never heard of Miracle Whip in mashed potatoes but I grew up on this recipe in South Georgia. Maybe it's a local thing; maybe it's just a family thing but everyone who tries them likes them. I have never measured the ingredients for these so you might want to start off with a little and adjust to your taste. And let me know what you think! P.S. These go great with my Cheesy Meatloaf also on this site.
