Creamed Peas and New Potatoes

Ingredients

• 1 pound baby red potatoes, quartered
• 1 cup shelled English peas
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 cup milk

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Boil potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes, or until tender. Drain.

In a medium saucepan, bring 1 cup water to a boil. Simmer peas in boiling water for 6 to 7 minutes, or until tender (do Not overcook). Drain.

Using the same saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a thick paste; gradually whisk in milk, stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Now add potatoes and peas to the sauce; simmer for about 5 minutes, stirring often. Serve immediately.
