Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 6-8 red potatoes
  • 3-4 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1-2 cups fresh or frozen peas ((if using fresh peas, see recipe notes))

Instruction

  • Boil potatoes in salted water until 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.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  • Slowly add flour, stirring, until 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. 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 are covered.
  • Pour creamed peas and potatoes into a serving dish to serve.
