Creamed Peas and Potatoes

Bobbie's Note:

I've had this recipe for years. The green from the peas and the red skins on the potatoes make a very attractive (and delicious) side dish. It is outstanding served with salmon and a wonderful addition to a meat loaf meal. And best of all -- it's quite easy to prepare.

Made this last nite for dinner and was it a huge hit!!! My picky 10 yr old daughter couldn't get enough and my wife even went back for more. Followed the recipe to a t. The only thing I may try next time is to add a few pearl onions for just a little added something. This will be made many times. Thanks for a great recipe!!
