One of my favorite summertime dishes my Grandma Wilson made for me as kid.
I didn't measure the potatoes, sorry.
New Potatoes with skins on, wash and cubed, boiled till tender.
In a skillet:
1 SM bag of peas (fresh or frozen) I had to use frozen.
This time I used 3 small leaks, but you don't have to, onion will work. I had leaks from my CSA bag so I used them.
Once your peas are warm and your onion or leaks are soft, scoot them to one side of the skillet.
Add 2 T of butter and let melt, add 2 T of ap flour, whisk and let cook for a min or two. Add salt and pepper at this point, I also added a teaspoon of garlic powder, but it is optional.
Whisk in one cup of milk then stir in the peas and leeks and let come to simmer it will get thick. When the potatoes are tender, drain off, but save back some potato water incase you need to loosen up the sauce. Incorporate the potatoes with the peas and sauce. Serve. I put a little parsley on top, but you don't have to... grandma certainly didn't.
