Tips for Making Creamed Garden Potatoes and Peas

  • Use fresh vegetables. Fresh potatoes and peas have the best flavor and texture. If you can't find fresh peas, you can use frozen peas, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables. The potatoes and peas should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. Overcooked vegetables will become mushy.
  • Use a good quality cream. The cream is what gives this dish its rich and creamy flavor. Be sure to use a cream that is at least 18% butterfat.
  • Season the dish to taste. This dish can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
  • Serve the dish immediately. Creamed garden potatoes and peas are best served hot out of the oven. They can be served as a side dish or a main course.
