Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 small new potatoes
  • 1 cup fresh garden peas (can use frozen if out of season)
  • 1 Tbsp. salted butter
  • 2 Tbsp. red onion (finely chopped, can use yellow onions)
  • 1 Tbsp. flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • Freshly ground pepper

Instruction

  • Start water boiling in two medium-large saucepans on your stovetop. Add peas to boiling water. Don't salt, but add a pinch of sugar to the water. Cook until just tender, 3-5 minutes. Drain and set aside. Unless potatoes are really tiny, cut in half. Cook in salted boiling water until tender, about 10 minutes (test with a knife). Drain and set aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add onion and cook, stirring, until onion is softened. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute. Slowly begin adding milk, stirring continuously, until well combined. Add cooked peas and potatoes and salt and pepper. Reduce heat slightly and allow sauce to simmer until thickened to a creamy sauce. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed (should not taste bland). Remove to a serving dish.
