This combination of early summer favorites is usually served in a cream sauce, but try this lighter version. Using edible podded peas provides both crunch and extra fiber.

Peas and Potatoes Recipe (+)

Directions

Scrub or peel potatoes and cut into bite-size pieces (if quite small, leave whole). In a saucepan, cover potatoes with water and a teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil.
While potatoes cook, whisk vinegar and oil or butter together. Add a pinch of salt and a few grinds of fresh pepper. Chop onions and remove any strings or stems from peas.
When potatoes are nearly tender (there is still a slight resistance when pierced with a knife) add onions and peas and cook for an additional 3 - 4 minutes, or until peas are cooked but still a bit crunchy.
Drain immediately and toss with vinegar mixture. Serve warm.
