Garrett Mcclure's New Potatoes And Peas In Cheddar Sauce
Serving Size: 8
- 2 Lb New Potatoes -- cut in 1" chunks
- 3 C Chicken Broth
- 2 Tbsp Butter
- 2 Tbsp Flour
- 2 Tsp Dry Mustard
- 1/8 Tsp Ground Red Hot Pepper
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 C Milk
- 2 C Peas, Frozen, Thawed; Or Cooked Fresh
- 4 oz Cheddar Cheese -- shredded
1. Bring the potatoes and broth to a boil in a 3-qt saucepan. Cover,
reduce the heat to low, and simmer 15 to 20 mins, until the potatoes are
tender, but still firm. Drain, and reserve 1 cup of broth for the sauce.
2. Make the sauce, by melting the butter in the same saucepan. Add the
flour, dry mustard, red pepper and salt, and whisk over low heat until
smooth and frothy. Let the mixture bubble for about 3 mins, stirring often
to prevent browning. Gradually whisk in the cup of broth and the milk.
Increase the heat to moderate and whisk the mixture for 2 to 3 mins until
the sauce thickens.
3. Add the peas to the sauce and bring to simmer, stirring gently. Add the
potatoes and stir gently to coat. Reduce the heat to moderate-low. Cover
and heat 5 mins, stirring once or twice. Remove from the heat, and stir in
the cheese.
Serve at once.
