Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 8 red potatoes (scrubbed & cubed (I cut mine small- probably about 3/4" cubes))
  • 16 oz frozen peas
  • ¼ cup butter
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 TBSP onion powder
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • salt & pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • Fill a medium sized saucepan 3/4 of the way with water. Add about 2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil and add frozen peas.
  • Keep the stove temperature on high and once water is again boiling, add the potatoes. Reduce heat to medium. Boil potatoes & peas for about 15 minutes- until the potatoes are fork tender, but not falling apart. (Check often after you've boiled them for about 12 minutes - you don't want them to get too soft!)
  • Drain potatoes & peas and set aside.
  • In the same saucepan, melt butter. Add onion powder and flour. Quickly begin whisking in milk as the flour-butter mixture thickens, adding the milk a little bit at a time. Allow the milk to heat up and the mixture to thicken again before adding more, until all the milk is incorporated.
  • Keep whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add a bit more milk if it gets too thick. Add in Parmesan cheese and whisk gently, until cheese is mixed in and melted.
  • Add the potatoes and peas back to the saucepan. Stir gently to combine. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top.
