Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh peas (or frozen peas)
- 4 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup heavy cream (or coconut milk for dairy-free)
- 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil for dairy-free)
- To taste: Salt
- To taste: Pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients by peeling and dicing the potatoes into even-sized pieces. If using fresh peas, shell them; for frozen peas, no prep is needed!
- Boil the diced potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water for about 10-12 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
- Sauté the peas in the same pot with melted butter over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until tender.
- Combine the drained potatoes back into the pot with the peas, pouring in the cream. Stir to mix.
- Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste.
- Garnish and serve with freshly chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
Notes
For a vegan option, use coconut milk and olive oil.
