New Potatoes in White Sauce Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds red new potatoes, peeled or scraped, then cut into 1 to 1 1/2" chunks (leave whole if small)
2 cups whole milk or half-and-half
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and black pepper, to taste
5 tablespoons margarine or salted butter

Steps:

Cover potatoes with water then add 1 tsp. salt and bring to a boil over medium/medium-high heat; cook until just tender. (Do not overcook or they will fall apart in the sauce.) Drain some of the water off, if needed, so that the potatoes are only about half covered. Stir 1 1/4 cups of the milk into the potatoes and bring back up to a boil. Meanwhile, in a small mixing bowl whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup milk and the flour until completely smooth. Once potatoes are boiling again, pouring in a thin stream while stirring rapidly, add the flour mixture to the potatoes and cook until thickened on medium/medium-low heat, stirring frequently. If sauce is not thick as preferred, it can be adjusted by whisking together a little more milk and flour and stirring it into the potatoes and sauce. When thickened, season with salt and freshly cracked black pepper. Add butter and cover the pot until it melts. Serve with fried pork chops or baked ham and fresh, hot cornbread!

WHITE SAUCE:
2 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp flour
1 c milk
PEAS AND POTATOES:
2 lb tiny new red potatoes (or you can quarter them if they are bigger than bite sized)
3 c fresh new peas
10-12 small pearl onions, optional
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

1. WHITE SAUCE: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add flour and stir until the butter and flour are well combined. Pour in milk, stirring constantly as it thickens. Add additional milk depending on desired consistency. You may not want to use all the sauce on your vegies, depending on your taste. This recipe should have a thin white sauce.
2. PEAS AND POTATOES: Cook potatoes in a small amount of water for about 5 minutes. Add pearl onions and continue cooking until almost done. Add peas. Cook 2-3 minutes more. Pour white sauce over veggies and mix. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
