Creamed Peas and Potatoes

Creamed Peas and Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 6-8 red potatoes cut into 1″ cubes
• 3-4 Tbsp. butter
• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 cups milk or to taste
• salt and pepper to taste
• 1-2 cups peas fresh or frozen

Directions:

1. 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). Drain and set aside.
2. 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!
