Creamed Peas and Potatoes

1 Green onion
2-1/2 cups Peas, frozen or fresh
1 lb Summertime red potatoes, small
1/4 cup All-purpose flour
1 Dash Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
2 cups 2% milk
1/4 cup Butter

Peel potatoes and cut into bite-sized pieces. 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. Drain & set aside.

Boil the peas for approx 10-15 min. 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.
