Ingredients
  • 1 lb red potatoes , small, each potato quartered
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups green peas frozen
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 cup half and half or, 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup regular milk
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • parsley chopped
Instructions
  1. Add quartered red potatoes to a large pot, fill with just enough water to cover potatoes. Add 1/4 teaspoon salt to the pot. Bring the pot to boil, and boil the potatoes for about 10-15 minutes, until they turn tender. Towards the end of boiling the potatoes, add frozen peas, and let the water boil for another 2-4 minutes to cook the peas. When the potatoes and the peas are both tender and cooked, drain them.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter on medium heat in a large skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute on medium heat, without burning.
  3. Add half and half to the skillet with cooked garlic. Bring to boil, stirring. Once the liquid is boiling, immediately add cheese, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and keep stirring everything together (cheese and the half and half), while boiling, until the cheese melts, for about 30 seconds or 1 minute. Reduce to simmer and continue to cook, constantly stirring, to thicken the sauce - for another minute.
  4. Immediately add cooked and drained potatoes and peas, stir them in and coat them with the sauce. Remove from heat. Taste, and add more salt if needed.
  5. Top with chopped parsley before serving.

    Can this be eaten cold the next day? For a work potluck for example?

    I attempted the sauce, twice. I followed the instructions to a t and both times it came out a clumpy, disgusting mess. So disappointed…won’t be trying this again.

      Never add Parm cheese to a boiling liquid, add all ingredients to pan, REMOVE from heat, then add the Parm, stir to combine. This should solve your problem of clumping.
