Steps:
- Boil potatoes in salted water until just done/fork tender, approximately 10-15 minutes depending on the size of your potato cubes (you don't want them overdone or they will get mushy real quick). Drain and set aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
- Slowly add flour, stirring, until flour/butter mixture becomes doughy (you may not need all the flour).
- SLOWLY add milk, whisking constantly until mixture becomes smooth and creamy. You want it to be a gravy consistency so add more milk if it seems too thick. Add salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add peas and bring to a slight simmer.
- Carefully stir potatoes into creamy mixture until potatoes become well covered and serve!

Steps:
- 1. Shell the peas, scrub the potatoes
- 2. Boil the potatoes to almost done (soft). Remove from water with a slotted spoon. Add peas to the boiling water. Cook 3-5 minutes....only until slightly soft. You still want a little crunch on them. Remove with a slotted spoon to the potatoes.
- 3. Drain the water from the pan. Add the butter to melt. Add the flour to the melted butter and stir to make a roux. Add milk to make a gravy. Add salt and pepper to taste. This needs to be thin enough to coat the peas and potatoes.

Tips:
- Choose the Right Potatoes: For a creamy and tender texture, opt for Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. These varieties hold their shape well and absorb the flavors of the sauce.
- Cut Potatoes Evenly: Uniformly sized potato pieces ensure even cooking and help the dish come together beautifully.
- Boil Potatoes until Almost Tender: Parboiling the potatoes before adding them to the sauce gives them a head start on cooking and prevents them from becoming overcooked.
- Use Fresh Peas: Fresh peas add a vibrant sweetness and crunch to the dish. If using frozen peas, thaw them thoroughly before adding them to the sauce.
- Make a Roux for a Thicker Sauce: If you prefer a thicker sauce, whisk together equal parts butter and flour to create a roux before adding the milk and cream. This will help thicken the sauce and give it a velvety texture.
- Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs as desired.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Sprinkle some chopped fresh parsley, chives, or dill over the finished dish for an extra pop of flavor and color.
