What To Serve With Creamed Peas and Potatoes
Creamy potatoes and peas goes with all kinds of meat entrées, but we really love when it’s paired with pork entrees like juicy baked pork chops with mushroom gravy, or crockpot pulled pork. Everyone loves creamed peas and potatoes with ham steaks, or baked ham, too.
Recipe Tips
- The best thing about this recipe is the creamy sauce that’s made during the cooking process.
- The best way to keep the cream from curdling is to add it to the skillet slowly. Also, have the cream at room temperature. Pour it in very slowly as you mix or whisk it into the sautéed onion mixture while it cooks.
- Creamy potatoes and peas will last in the refrigerator for about 5 days as long as it’s covered. It’s easy to freeze, but to freshen it up just add new cooked diced potatoes and some fresh peas and it will be good to go!
