• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 green onions, chopped
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup light cream

1. Steam new potatoes about 20 minutes or until fork-tender. Combine peas, salt and sugar in a saucepan and add water to cover. Cook uncovered, 5-8 minutes, or until tender (if using frozen peas it may take less time). Drain; return peas to pan.

Great potatoes. I used tri-colored new potatoes for this and really enjoyed them. I'll use this as a side dish again. Thanks for sharing, Nancy. Made for CQ4.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful recipe Nancy. We loved it, the dish was so flavorful and creamy, decadent with lovely textures. The tender potatoes and peas were a perfect match for the tasty cream sauce. It reminded me of scalloped potatoes without all the work. We will be enjoying this often. Made for First Time Tag. Kudos on making it into my Favorites Cookbook for 2016.
