Creamed Peas and New Potatoes

Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Boil potatoes for 15 to 20 minutes or until tender. Drain.

In a medium saucepan bring 1 cup water to a boil. Simmer peas in boiling water for 6 to 7 minutes or until tender (do NOT overcook). Drain.

Using the same saucepan melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to make a thick paste; gradually whisk in milk stirring constantly until slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Now add potatoes and peas to the sauce; simmer for about 5 minutes stirring often. Serve immediately.
