Directions

1

  • Peel potatoes and cut larger potatoes in half. Skins can be left on, if desired. Place
    in a saucepan, cover with water, and bring to a boil. Boil for approximately 10 minutes. Do not
    overcook. When the potatoes are done, drain the water off and set them aside.
  • Boil the peas
    and drain them when finished cooking. Set aside with the potatoes.
  • In a saucepan, add the
    onion and butter. Cook until the onion is tender, but hasn't browned yet. Add flour, salt, and
    pepper. Stir until mixed and then add in all the milk and stir into flour mixture until all
    ingredients are well blended.
  • Continue to stir and cook until the mixture has thickened and
    begins to bubble. Cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add the potatoes and peas to the cream sauce. Stir
    until well distributed and thoroughly heated.
  • Season to taste and serve while hot.
