Smoky Peas & Potatoes image

My mom's signature recipe! At home, this was often made for us - and for company. A nice side dish featuring two favorite veggies - with a SCRUMPTIOUS smoke flavor! You won't be disappointed! Prep time includes stove-top cook time. This doesn't get baked - just stove to table! ENJOY!
