Creamy Red Potatoes and Peas
Creamy Red Potatoes and Peas is an old fashioned, classic recipe with potatoes and peas in a delicious cream sauce. It’s a wonderful side dish for any time of year.
I love this time of year! Fresh veggies from the garden and old favorites in the kitchen. One of my all-time favorites is Creamy new red potatoes with fresh peas.
You can imagine how excited I was when my mother in law called my husband and told him that the peas were ready to pick. This is so simple to make but the flavor is out of this world, and my girls love it!
