𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀:

1 lb baby potatoes, halved 🥔
1 cup frozen green peas 🟢
2 tablespoons unsalted butter 🧈
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour 🌾
1 cup milk 🥛
1/2 cup heavy cream 🥛
Salt and pepper to taste 🧂
Fresh parsley for garnish 🌿

𝗗𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀:

1. Prepare the potatoes: Start by placing the halved baby potatoes 🥔 into a large pot of salted water and bring it to a boil. Cook the potatoes for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are fork-tender but not falling apart. You want the potatoes to maintain their shape. While the potatoes are cooking, you can prepare the sauce.

2. Blanch the peas: While the potatoes are cooking, bring another small pot of water to a boil and add the frozen peas 🟢. Blanch the peas for about 2-3 minutes until they are tender and bright green. Drain the peas and set them aside.

3. Make the cream sauce: In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the unsalted butter 🧈 over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and starts to bubble, whisk in the all-purpose flour 🌾 to create a roux. Cook the flour and butter mixture for about 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly to eliminate any raw flour taste. Slowly pour in the milk 🥛 while whisking continuously, ensuring a smooth sauce forms with no lumps. Add the heavy cream 🥛, and continue whisking until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes. The sauce should coat the back of a spoon. Season with salt and pepper 🧂 to taste.

4. Combine the potatoes and peas: Drain the cooked potatoes 🥔 and gently add them to the cream sauce, stirring carefully to coat the potatoes without breaking them. Add the blanched peas 🟢 to the mixture and stir gently to combine everything. The peas and potatoes should be evenly coated with the creamy sauce, creating a rich and comforting side dish.

5. Serve and garnish: Once everything is combined and warmed through, transfer the creamed potatoes and peas to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley 🌿 for a pop of color and added freshness. Serve this comforting dish alongside roasted meats, or enjoy it on its own as a cozy side.
