Creamed Parmesan Baby Potatoes With Peas and Pearl Onions image

This recipe can be doubled, and I really suggest you do, this is absolutely delicious! Of coarse you can use fresh peas cooked to just firm-tender, but frozen peas and small whole onions, make this dish easier!

Time 45m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs small red potatoes (preferably new potatoes, skin on or off)
1/4 cup butter (no subs!)
1 -2 tablespoon chopped fresh garlic (or to taste)
1/4 cup flour
2 1/4 cups full-fat milk (can use half and half)
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup parmesan cheese (can use more if desired)
salt and pepper
1 (16 ounce) package frozen baby peas, thawed and well drained (can use fresh cooked to firm-tender)
1 (10 ounce) package frozen small whole onions, thawed and drained

Steps:

  • Do not cut the small potatoes, leave whole and place then in a pot of boiling salted water; boil for about 20 minutes or until just fork-tender, drain and cool, then cut in half (this can be done well in advance).
  • Melt butter in a large heavy saucepan over low heat.
  • Add in the chopped garlic and saute for about 1 minute.
  • Add in flour and whisk for 2 minutes (do not brown the flour).
  • Gradually add in the full-fat milk (or half and half if using) bring to a simmer whisking continously for 1 minute.
  • Add in the whipping cream; mix to combine, then add in the Parmesan cheese (sauce will be thick but will thin out slighty when you add in the peas and onions).
  • Season with salt and lots of pepper or cayenne pepper; simmer over low heat for about 7-8 minutes, stirring often.
  • Add in cooked potatoes, peas and onions; bring to a simmer and cook over low heat, stirring often with a wooden spoon until the onions are tender (about 5-6 minutes).
  • Transfer to a large bowl, sprinkle with more grated Parmesan cheese and black pepper if desired.
