CREAMED NEW POTATOES & PEAS




Fresh grown vegetables right from my own back yard don't get much better than this.  Tender vegetables creamed together make a perfect side dish for any meal.  If you have never had an opportunity to taste new potatoes right from the ground they are so much better than store bought.  They are so easy to grow and one of the most cost efficient crops to continuously grow year after year.


4 tbs butter
1/2 cup minced green onion
3 cups chicken broth
2 lbs New White potatoes
1 lb Snap Snow Peas
salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup butter
4 tbs flour
2 cups milk

In a large dutch oven saute minced onion in butter for 2 minutes.  Slice all Potatoes and Peas in half. Add to onion.  Stir in chicken broth.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

In another pan melt putter and whisk in flour until smooth.  Quickly pour in cold milk and continue whisking until all lumps are gone.  Pour roux into potatoes and continue stirring gently until broth is smooth.
