| Petite red potatoes | 1 pound |
| Garden peas (fresh or frozen) | 1 cup |
| Golden butter | 4 tablespoons |
| All-purpose flour | 1/4 cup |
| Whole milk | 1 cup |

👩🍳 Instructions
1. Cook the Potatoes and Peas:
Boil the red potatoes in salted water until fork-tender. If using fresh peas, cook them separately until soft. For frozen peas, follow the package instructions. Drain and set both aside.
2. Prepare the Cream Sauce:
In a skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1–2 minutes to form a smooth roux. Slowly pour in the milk and cream, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens. Stir in the chicken bouillon for added depth of flavor.
3. Combine:
Gently fold the cooked potatoes and peas into the cream sauce. Stir until everything is evenly coated and warmed through.
4. Season and Serve:
Add salt and cracked black pepper to taste. Serve hot alongside your favorite main course.
