Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Cook the potatoes
Place diced potatoes in a pot, cover with water, and add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 10–12 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: Cook the peas
In a small pot or in the same water after removing the potatoes, cook the peas for 2–3 minutes, just until bright green and tender. Drain and set aside.
Step 3: Make the creamy sauce
In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a smooth paste (roux). Cook for 1–2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Slowly pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth and creamy, about 3–4 minutes.
Step 4: Combine and season
Add the cooked potatoes and peas to the sauce. Stir gently to coat everything evenly. Season with salt, pepper, and optional garlic powder or nutmeg. Let simmer for another minute so the flavors come together.
Step 5: Serve warm
Serve your Creamed Potatoes and Peas hot as a comforting side dish or even a light vegetarian meal.
